title: [A comprehensive analysis of osteosarcoma, fibrosarcoma and chondrosarcoma of the jaws].
abstract: The clinical, pathological and radiographic materials of 99 cases with osteosarcoma, fibrosarcoma and chondrosarcoma of the jaws were analyzed comprehensively. Neither obvious differences of age, sex, duration, location of tumor, clinical symptoms and five-year survivals nor radiographic characteristics were found between these three types of sarcoma. The tumor stage and destruction of cortical bone by the tumor are the important factors influencing the prognosis of the patients. The radiographic findings are valuable for the estimation of prognosis.
