Abstract
Rare case of mandibular osteosarcoma: Clinical, imaging and pathological aspects
Highlights
The osteosarcoma (OS) represent 20% of all sarcomas, including preexisting bone abnormalities, previous trauma, osteogenesis imperfect and others
According to some case series, 50% of the OS in the jaw are condroblásticos, and this type is associated with a better prognosis than other histological types [3,11]
The aim of this study was to report a case of osteosarcoma in the mandible, describing it’s clinical, imaging and histopathological
Summary
The osteosarcoma (OS) represent 20% of all sarcomas, including preexisting bone abnormalities, previous trauma, osteogenesis imperfect and others. The occurrence of OS [4] is larger long bones, representing 60% of all malignant tumors [5], with an incidence of 1: 100,000 [6]. Since the involvement of maxillofacial region is rare, around 6.0% of all cases of OS. Metastases of OS are most commonly observed in lungs or bones [7]. Metastasis in the oral cavity and jaw are rare, about 1% [8], few well-documented cases of metastatic THE oral mucosa are known to 2015 [8]. As gap information, because of the relative rarity of this condition, no treatment guidelines based on clearly defined evidence for these tumors
