Abstract
Introduction: Surface osteosarcomas represent around 3-6% of all osteosarcomas, which include the parosteal (low-grade), periosteal (intermediate-grade) and high-grade surface osteosarcomas. The classical location is the femur, followed by tibia and humerus. Parosteal osteosarcoma is the most common type of surface osteosarcoma. To date, 26 cases of parosteal osteosarcoma affecting the jaws have been reported, with most cases following an evolution time of several months to years, clinically favoring a benign osseous or fibro-osseous lesion.
Methods: Here, we report a 39-year-old female who was referred presenting a maxillary tumoral mass 5 years ago, clinically diagnosed as osteoma. After clinical, imaginological and histopathological analysis, a diagnosis of parosteal osteosarcoma was made.
Conclusion: Thus, parosteal osteosarcoma should also be considered in the differential diagnosis of benign-appearance, bone-forming nodular lesions affecting the jaws.
