Osteosarcoma is one of the rarer malignancies that affects the facial skeletal structures. There are only a few retrospective studies discussing the management and outcomes of this malignancy due to the rarity of the disease. Unlike osteosarcoma of long bones, this malignancy has more incidence in patients in the older age group leading to difficulty in the management of this condition but with better outcomes due to the contrasting behavior of this malignancy. Osteosarcoma of the mandible has a longer median survival rate and lesser incidence of distant metastases. Osteosarcomas are more common in the appendicular skeleton, with the most prevalent sites being in the distal femur. Osteosarcoma of the mandible is a rare occurrence with management most commonly being a surgical intervention. Here, we present a 52-year-old female patient who was diagnosed to have osteosarcoma of the mandible treated with hemimandibulectomy and right sternocleidomastoid flap reconstruction with the final histopathology report as osteosarcoma-chondroblastic subtype.

Osteosarcoma (OS) is a rare form of malignant bone tumor affecting jaws. The diagnosis of jaws osteosarcoma (JO) presents a unique challenge due to its rarity and the diversity of histological presentations it can exhibit. Fibroblastic osteosarcoma (FO), a subtype of OS, is characterized by the presence of fibroblastic cells and osteoid-producing cells within the tumor matrix.

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.

Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the effectiveness of using pectoralis major myocutaneous flaps (PMMF) to reconstruct mandibular defects, focusing on how success varied by defect location.
- Data from 18 patients aged 28 to 82, treated from 2018 to 2021, were analyzed, revealing that Class I defects had a 100% success rate, while Class III defects had a lower rate of only 16.7% successful outcomes.
- The findings suggest that the location and classification of the defects significantly impacted recovery, with Class III defects experiencing more complications likely due to reduced blood supply to the flaps.

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.
