Introduction
Mandibular osteosarcoma is a rare pathology. Approximately 6-7% of all
osteosarcomas occur in the maxillofacial region, mainly in the jaws
[1].
They should be considered as a differential diagnosis when analyzing
lesions of the mandible and maxilla [2].
Mandibular osteosarcomas behave differently from long bone
osteosarcomas. The sites of these tumors also impose a different set of
problems for resection and reconstruction than long bone tumors [3].
In this work we report a case of giant mandibular osteosarcoma that was
diagnosed early and was able to be surgically removed completely.
