Oral osteosarcoma: a case report and analysis of previously reported cases.
Osteosarcoma is the most common malignancy of mesenchymal cells after hematopoietic neoplasms. Most originate within bones, but the occurrence of this malignancy in the jaw bones is rare. There is controversy about the characteristics of this tumor in the literature. The aim of this paper was to collect the previous reported data and provide a statistical analysis of them. Additionally, we have reported a case of mandibular osteosarcoma.
