Abstract
Craniofacial osteosarcoma is a relatively rare disease entity. In the craniofacial region, mandible is the commonest site followed by maxilla and skull bone. Due to its rare occurrence standard treatment guidelines are not formulated as in long bone or extremity sarcoma. Here we have reported a locally advanced case of a maxillary osteosarcoma of chondroblastic variant who was initially considered for neoadjuvant chemotherapy. However there was radiological evience of disease progression. Then the patient was considered for surgery followed by adjuvant radiotherapy. A literature review of the published cases of maxillary chondroblastic osteosarcoma has also been done here.
