Osteofibrous dysplasia-like adamantinoma treated via intercalary segmental resection with partial cortex preservation using pedicled vascularized fibula graft: a case report

Abstract

Background: Morphologically, osteofibrous dysplasia-like adamantinoma is thought to be intermediate between osteofibrous dysplasia and adamantinoma. Its treatment is not well established owing to its rarity.

Case presentation: We report about of a 10-year-old girl with osteofibrous dysplasia-like adamantinoma initially diagnosed as osteofibrous dysplasia and treated via intercalary segmental resection with partial cortex preservation using a pedicled vascularized fibula graft for reconstruction. Bone union was observed 9 weeks after surgery. Twenty-two months after the definitive surgery, no recurrence was observed.

Conclusion: This case illustrates the upgrade from osteofibrous dysplasia to osteofibrous dysplasia-like adamantinoma. The surgical method may aid the treatment of osteofibrous dysplasia-like adamantinoma with incomplete cortex involvement of the tumor.

Keywords: Bone tumor; Osteofibrous dysplasia; Vascularized fibula graft.

A pedicled vascularized fibula graft was inserted into the medullary cavity of the tibia and locked in place with cortical screws. b Bone union was observed 9 weeks after surgery, and the patient began to partially bear weight. c Complete bone union was observed 8 months after surgery. d The locking plate and screws were removed 19 months after surgery
