Fibrosarcoma of the mandible: a case report.
Fibrosarcoma is a relatively rare malignant tumor found in the head and neck region. Pain and swelling are the two most frequent symptoms, but other findings include paresthesia, trismus, loosening of teeth, ulceration, swelling, and pathological fracture. This case report underscores the importance of early diagnosis and detection of oral neoplasms to minimize therapeutic intervention.
