Osteosarcoma is a rare primary malignant bone tumor with considerable variations not only in clinical and histologic appearance, but also in the course and prognosis of the disease. It mainly occurs in the metaphyseal region of long bones. Jaw osteosarcomas are relatively rare as compared to those occurring in long bones and share similar histopathologic features, but biologically behave in a different manner. Early diagnosis and complete resection of the lesion are necessary for better prognosis. This report highlights an aggressive and fatal case of mandibular osteosarcoma in a 23-year male patient, which, if diagnosed earlier, would have added some valuable years to the patient's life.
骨肉瘤是一种罕见的原发性恶性骨肿瘤，不仅在临床和组织学表现上存在很大差异，而且在疾病的病程和预后方面也有很大不同。它主要发生在长骨的干骺端区域。与发生在长骨的骨肉瘤相比，颌骨骨肉瘤相对少见，且具有相似的组织病理学特征，但生物学行为有所不同。早期诊断和病变的完整切除对于更好的预后很有必要。本报告重点介绍了一名23岁男性患者下颌骨骨肉瘤的侵袭性致命病例，如果能更早诊断，患者的生命或许能延长宝贵的几年。
