Abstract :

 Introduction: Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common malignant bone tumor in let us say (40 to 60% of cases , and

comes after multiple myeloma i.e primary malignant tumors most commonly found in bones. It is usually localized at the
level of the long bones, 5 to 10% are found in the jaws , 0.5 to 1% of tumors of the facial skeleton . The published series are, on the one hand, very
few but on the other hand, they group few patients .
Clinical case: It is a 44–year–old patient with no significant history, the patient reported a dental pain. A dental consultation revealed the presence
of a dental abscess. After medical treatment, the patient has benefited from a dental extraction, the aftereffects have been characterized by a
tumefaction first endobuccal that was rapidly taking volume, all evolving in an apyrexia environment. An Endobuccal examination revealed a
swelling in relation to the 46 that is developing at the vestibular level and on the outer table of the mandible .
An Exobuccal examination showed no trismus, positive vincent sign, an inflammatory skin Tumefaction in the mandible, which was slightly
painful to the palpation.
The biopsy revealed a histological as well as an immunohistochemical appearance of an Osteoblastic osteosarcoma,.
Conclusion: The mandibular localization of osteosarcoma is rare.The diagnosis is first oriented by the clinic and the radiological explorations
then an evidence is provided by the histological examination.
