Abstract
|
|
Introduction:
One of the most common primary malignant bone tumor is osteosarcoma that counts high percentages in the level of incidence the 5% of all tumor in children, and the 9% of all sarcomas. Osteosarcoma are malignant bone tumors developing from mesenchymal tumor cells that growth as disorganized immature bone or osteoid tissue. Patients affected by osteosarcoma show a peak incidence related to puberty (for young female 12±2 years and for young male 16±1.8 years). Regardless of the favorable biological behaviour, the patients of jaw osteosarcoma usually exhibit advanced tumor as it often goes unnoticed by the dental professional thus stressing on the need for early diagnosis of the lesion.
Case Report: We report an unusual case history of a 34-year-old male with swelling and blood loss in anterior gingival of maxilla with loss of teeth. Conclusion: There are three main methods to diagnose the tumor based on clinical and radiographic characteristics before confirmation by histology and to bring attention to dental professional to approach cases diagnosing them at an early stage leading to better prognosis. | |
