【 摘 要 】

Adamantinoma is an epithelial-origin malignant tumor with uncommon frequency of appearance. This article aims to describe the behavior and evolution of a patient with adamantinoma of the tibia associated with pulmonary and bone infection by Mycobacterium avium. We present a 43 years old male patient with the diagnosis of adamantinoma. This adamantinoma was located in the middle-lower third of the right tibia. The clinical, imaging and histopathological findings allowed to reach the diagnosis of adamantinoma of the appendicular skeleton. The excision of the tumor and filling with surgical cement was performed. Twelve months after the treatment, clinical and radiographic signs showed tumor recurrence. The infratuberosal amputation of the right leg was necessary. In addition, fibrocystic lesions were observed at the apex of the left lung related to Mycobacterium avium. After a two-year follow up, multiple metastatic nodules were observed in both lung fields.
