Abstract:
Osteosarcoma of the mandible is a rare lesion. We report the case of a 16-year-old male who developed a fibroblastic osteosarcoma at the site of a wisdom tooth extraction. The lesion followed an aggressive course of recurrence and diffuse disseminated osteosarcomatosis. We speculate on the causal factors that resulted in this rapid course.
