Abstract EN
Adamantinoma is a rare low-grade malignant bone tumor of epithelial origin.
Metastatic adamantinoma has been reported to be resistant to chemotherapy.
We report a case of metastatic adamantinoma to the lung, 10 years after the initial diagnosis of tibial mass.
The patient received radiation therapy to the lung with partial response.
A surveillance PET scan revealed progression of the lung mass and biopsy confirmed to be progressive residual metastatic adamantinoma.
He received carboplatin and etoposide for 7 months and achieved a partial response.
Four months later, PET scan showed disease progression.
We started him on sunitinib, a multikinase inhibitor.
He achieved a good partial response for 3 years.
He died due to pneumonia at the age of 72.
