Not the same definition as Wikipedia has[edit]

This entry includes a template linking to the Wikipedia article on the same subject, except that it's apparently about a different subject! Wikipedia's "adamantinoma" is a lower-leg bone cancer, which seems completely unrelated to a benign tumor of tooth enamel epithelium. The Wikipedia article has several sources cited, as well, whereas this Wiktionary entry has none. I'm not a doctor or in any way an expert on anything medical, so I'd rather somebody else take a look to make sure I'm not crazy, rather than attempt to fix it myself.

This is one of the definitions originating from our old medical dictionaries project, and is found in Appleton's Medical Dictionary (1915), American Illustrated Medical Dictionary (1919), and American Illustrated Medical Dictionary (1922). Reference to adamantinoma of the tooth enamel can be found in medical literature of the time, e.g., Stuart Graves, "A Case of Adamantinoma Showing Epithelial Pearls", The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, Volume 154 (September 1917), p. 313. bd2412 T 01:54, 4 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
