Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant tumor of bone but only 5% of these tumours occur in the
jaws. Of all the varieties of osteosarcoma, the juxtacortical type is rare and comprises only less than 4% of all
osteosarcomas. Juxtacortical osteosarcoma is further subdivided into parosteal (low grade) and periosteal (high
grade). Osteosarcomas can be categorized histologically mainly into chondroblastic, osteoblastic, fibroblastic and
numerous others. One of the rare histological variant is small cell osteosarcoma which consists of sheets of round
cells that produce an osteoid matrix. The aim of this article is to present a rare case of periosteal osteosarcoma of
mandible which on histopathological examination showed characteristics of small cell tumour. |
