Abstract

Osteosarcoma is an uncommon primary malignant tumor of bone. Craniofacial osteosarcomas constitute only about 6.5–7% of all osteosarcomas. The most common histopathologic type is chondroblastic type in head and neck group and osteoblastic in extremity group. We present a case report of 21 year old male patient with chondroblastic osteosarcoma with two episodes of recurrence. The tumour was dealt with left hemimandibulectomy followed by radiochemotherapy. After first recurrence he underwent right hemimandibulectomy. During second recurrence excision of growth followed by radiochemotherapy was done. Thus an aggressive multi-modality approach was adopted for treatment. Osteosarcoma is an uncommon primary malignant tumor of bone. Craniofacial Osteosarcomas are considered a separate category in view of their low histologic grade, less frequent metastases and better prognosis. The most common presentation is local swelling with or without pain. Aggressive surgical approach with post-surgical radiochemotherapy can be an effective tool.
