An unusual case of adamantinoma of long bones

Additionally, the patient developed pneumothorax on the right side months before intrapulmonary metastasis could be detected by X ray. Finally 1 week before her death the young woman suffered from paraneoplastic severe hypercalcemia leading to hypercalcemic coma and pancreatitis.
