Abstract

Jaw osteosarcoma (JOS) is a rare, distinct variant that differ from long bone osteosarcoma (LBOS) in several aspects. JOS typically appears about twenty years later than LBOS, displays a lower propensity for metastasis to other organs, and exhibits better survival rates. The dissimilarities in clinical and biological behavior between JOS and LBOS are likely due, at least in part, to variations in their respective microenvironments. In this report, we present a case of OS affecting the mandible in a young patient. This case displayed classic radiographic features but a unique histopathological presentation, posing a diagnostic challenge for pathologists, especially if encountered in small biopsies.
