“…Several authors have supported this idea [reviewed in Park et al, 1993]. Further support for a relationship between OFD and adamantinoma comes from the fact that it is not uncommon for OFD to recur after curetting, or even excision [Springfield et al, 1994], that OFD can frequently be shown to contain epithelial cells [Ishida et al, 1992;Sweet et al, 1992], and from scattered reports of patients whose OFD apparently progressed to an adamantinoma [Johnson, 1972;Schajowicz and Santini-Araujo, 1989;Durroux et al, 1993;Springfield et al, 1994]. Czerniak et al [1989] proposed that adamantinoma occurred in two forms; the classic malignant tumor, and a second that contained small, inconspicuous, epidermal foci, occurred in a younger age group, and resembled typical OFD.…”
