Another name for ameloblastoma, a tumor in the jaw that arises from cells that normally form tooth enamel.
From 'adamant' (hard/unbreakable) + '-oma' (tumor), an older medical term that reflects the hard, stone-like nature of the tumor tissue.
Medical terminology is constantly evolving, and 'adamantoma' is mostly a historical term now—if you read old dental textbooks, you'll see it used, but modern dentists prefer 'ameloblastoma' because it's more precise about which cells created the tumor.
