Low-grade Parosteal Osteosarcoma of the Mandible: A Case Study
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Case Reports - Year 2017, Vol 10, Issue 2
Abstract
Osteosarcomas are neoplasms of bone that present diagnosis and management challenges. Here we discuss a sixty-seven year old patient who presented with a swelling on the mandible. Complete excision with biopsy led to correct diagnosis and complete recovery for our patient, who remains well on review. Our case highlights the importance of integrating specific clinical and laboratory techniques to reach a correct diagnosis in cases where lesions present with deceptively benign characteristics.
