Chondroblastic Osteosarcoma of the mandible: an uncommon site for Osteosarcoma

Osteosarcoma is one of the most common types of malignant bone tumors, typically involving long bones such as the femur, tibia, and humerus. However, osteosarcomas occurring in the jaws are exceptionally rare, accounting for approximately 7% of all osteosarcoma cases and just 1% of malignancie...

description Osteosarcoma is one of the most common types of malignant bone tumors, typically involving long bones such as the femur, tibia, and humerus.
