Abstract

In the jaw bones, Osteo Sarcoma accounts for about 4% of all the primary malignant neoplasms. Low-grade lesions are rare and represent less than 2% of all osteosarcomas reported in the literature. This article reports on a case of a low grade osteosarcoma of the maxilla. A 30-year-old woman came with a chief complain of recurrent ossifying fibroma of the maxillae. The clinical picture showed a well defined, pedunculated, roughly rectangular growth arising from posterior left maxillary tooth region. An excisional biopsy was performed and diagnosis of low grade osteosarcoma was established and the patient was recommended for oncologic treatment.
