[A so-called adamantinoma of the right femur (author's transl)]

Report on a so-called adamantinoma of a right femur (fourth case from available publications) with remarks on the histogenesis of these tumors, which show correlating properties with malignant synovialomas. In other words, the so-called adamantinoma of long bones represents the osseous form of a malignant synovialoma, whereby an intraosseous ganglion has to be considered as a histogenetic criterion (matrix).
