Introduction:
Adamantinoma is an infrequent, low-grade malignant bone tumor, predominantly affecting the tibia and often presents diagnostic challenges due to its nonspecific radiographic characteristics.
Case Presentation:
A 55-year-old military personnel, with no history of trauma, who presented with a one-year history of right leg swelling and pain. Radiological examination showed right anterior tibial, mid diaphyseal lytic expansile lesion with internal trabeculations and excisional biopsy led to the diagnosis of adamantinoma. Below knee amputation was done as a definitive management.
Conclusion:
Despite diagnostic challenges adamantinoma presents, the patient was referred to oncology and underwent amputation, underscoring the importance of considering adamantinoma in differential diagnosis for persistent bone lesions.
