Cemento-ossifying fibroma is a rare benign odontogenic tumour of the tooth-bearing jaws. Its concomitant occurrence with osteosarcoma, a malignant maxillofacial bone tumour, has never been described before. We present an uncommon case of a 43-year-old woman in whom a cemento-ossifying fibroma in the right maxilla was treated by resection and reconstruction using a deep circumflex iliac artery flap.

Background: The osteosarcomas of the jaws are infrequently tumors. The accelerated bone growthing and the swelling with nervous sensibility alterations are suggestive of malignancy. The diagnosis is established only by the histological study and the standard treatment used is surgery with a poor survival prognosis of only 25% at five years for those cases with margins free of tumor.

Introduction: Osteosarcoma of the jaws (OSJ) differs from osteosarcoma of other skeletal regions due to later development, a high mortality associated with the local disease, fewer incidences of metastases and its extreme rarity. In regard to clinical and pathological parameters as well as therapeutic approaches and prognosis, OSJ has not been specifically examined to date. In order to achieve a better understanding of this special malignancy, an evaluation of incidence, treatment and prognosis of patients with OSJ in our department over the past 38 years was conducted.
