title: [A giant chondroblastic osteosarcoma of the mandible. A case report].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Osteosarcoma of the craniofacial bones location is less common, usually with low grade of malignancy; it has better prognosis when surgical excision is complete.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report a case of a 35-year-old male diagnosed with a low-grade chondroblastic osteosarcoma of the mandible. The patient was treated with surgery alone and recovered with pectoralis major myocutaneous flap. After 48 months, the oncology's and aesthetics results are good.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We will discuss the treatment of chondroblastic osteosarcoma of the mandible.
