Abstract
Osteosarcoma is one of the rarer malignancies that affects the facial skeletal structures. There are only a few retrospective studies discussing the management and outcomes of this malignancy due to the rarity of the disease. Unlike osteosarcoma of long bones, this malignancy has more incidence in patients in the older age group leading to difficulty in the management of this condition but with better outcomes due to the contrasting behavior of this malignancy. Osteosarcoma of the mandible has a longer median survival rate and lesser incidence of distant metastases. Osteosarcomas are more common in the appendicular skeleton, with the most prevalent sites being in the distal femur. Osteosarcoma of the mandible is a rare occurrence with management most commonly being a surgical intervention. Here, we present a 52-year-old female patient who was diagnosed to have osteosarcoma of the mandible treated with hemimandibulectomy and right sternocleidomastoid flap reconstruction with the final histopathology report as osteosarcoma-chondroblastic subtype.
