Abstract
Osteosarcoma of the jaws is uncommon and mainly occurs as a fast-growing painful swelling in the posterior mandible. The knowledge of clinicopathologic aspects of osteosarcoma is essential for early diagnosis and adequate treatment. The aim of this study is to report a clinical case of chondroblastic osteosarcoma in the posterior left mandible in a 53-year-old male patient with complaint of paresthesia in the left lower lip and a fast-growing swelling in the gingival mucosa. Radiographically, the classical sunray appearance can be observed. Microscopically, we identified atypical polygonal cells with large and hyperchromatic nuclei associated with osteoid material and chondroblastic differentiation. The diagnosis of chondroblastic osteosarcoma was made. The patient was referred to an oncologist for treatment with surgery and chemotherapy.
