Primary Bone Tumors
A 32-year-old man presents with a slowly enlarging, painless mass on the anterior aspect of his right leg that he first noticed 2 years ago. Examination reveals a firm, non-tender swelling over the anterior tibial shaft with overlying skin normal. Radiographs show an eccentric, intracortical lytic lesion in the anterior tibial cortex with a "soap-bubble" appearance and surrounding sclerosis. MRI shows the lesion is primarily cortical with some intramedullary extension. Biopsy reveals nests of epithelial cells positive for cytokeratin within a fibrous stroma. The tumour board discusses the diagnosis and recommends wide resection. Regarding adamantinoma of bone:
