Although osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant tumour of bone, osteosarcomas of jaw are rare. In osteosarcomas of jaw, evaluating the clinicopathological factors affecting the prognosis is not easy because of different approaches to diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. This study reviewed 14 cases of JOS that were diagnosed between 1990-2010, in terms of age, gender, site, clinical history, histopathologic type and histopathologic grade, treatment, and prognosis. Median age was 35 years, while male:female ratio was 1.8:1. Eight tumours were located in the mandible. Osteoblastic differentiation was the predominant feature in seven cases followed by chondroid osteosarcoma (four cases), fibroblastic osteosarcoma, low-grade (parosteal) osteosarcoma associated with fibrous dysplasia, and postradiation osteosarcoma (one cases each). During follow-up, recurrence was seen in four patients at least once and they all died. In conclusion, early diagnosis and complete resection seems to be effective in prognosis. Therefore, clinicians and pathologists should be aware of its characteristics and main differential diagnosis to avoid late recognition.

One of the most important figures of the Hellenic surgery of the 19 century, professor of the Othonian University of Athens, Theodoros Aretaios (1829-1893), portrays in his personal archives a series of surgical operations in the field of maxillofacial surgery. During his career, he operated the following surgical diseases, these are adenosarcomas or inosarcomas of the parotid region, osteofibroma of the sinus antrum, osteosarcomas of the upper and lower jaw, and lycostoma (cleft palate). He was able to perform radical enucleations of the tumorous masses.

Cementoblastoma is a benign odontogenic mesenchymal tumor characterized by cementum production. Cementoblastoma is considered a relatively rare neoplasm with a predilection to the posterior region of the mandible. The main clinical differential diagnoses include hypercementosis, cemento-osseous dysplasia, condensing osteitis, idiopathic osteosclerosis, osteoblastoma, odontoma, and osteosarcoma.

During routine veterinary inspection of fish from fishing boats, fish auction yards, and fish landing stations, as well as the large fish market for detection of fish diseases, abnormalities and/or overgrowth in body surfaces and evaluation of hygienic conditions and fish quality at El-Jubail Province, Saudi Arabia., external neoplastic overgrowths were observed in two fish species, giant sea catfish (Arius thalassinus) and Delagoa threadfin bream (Nemipterus bipunctatu). In both fishes, the neoplasms appeared as bony masses, and it was hard in its consistency.

Jaw osteosarcoma (JOS) is a rare, distinct variant that differ from long bone osteosarcoma (LBOS) in several aspects. JOS typically appears about twenty years later than LBOS, displays a lower propensity for metastasis to other organs, and exhibits better survival rates. The dissimilarities in clinical and biological behavior between JOS and LBOS are likely due, at least in part, to variations in their respective microenvironments.

Background/aim: To investigate the feasibility of establishing a mandibular osteosarcoma model in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats using tissue block transplantation, providing a foundational model for osteosarcoma research.
Materials And Methods: Fourteen male SD rats, 3 weeks old and SPF grade, were randomly divided into a control group (n=4) and a mandibular osteosarcoma group (n=10). Using tissue block transplantation, UMR106 cell-induced tumor tissues were transplanted subcutaneously into the left mandibular marrow cavity of the SD rats.
