Summary
Three cases of adamantinoma of the tibia, seen in one hospital over a period of 7 years, are described. They illustrate the difficulty in differentiating this lesion from fibrous dysplasia on radiographic and histological grounds. Thermography may help in the differential diagnosis.
Résumé
Trois cas d'adamantinome du tibia ont été observés en 7 ans dans un même hôpital. Ils illustrent la difficulté qu'il y a à distinguer cette lésion de la dysplasie fibreuse en se fondant sur des arguments radiologiques et histologiques. La thermographie peut aider au diagnostic différentiel.
