    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Skeletal Tumors
    • Oral Pathology

    Background:

    • Fibrosarcoma of the jaws is a rare malignant bone tumor.
    • Understanding its characteristics and outcomes is crucial for effective treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the clinical, radiographic, and histological features of jaw fibrosarcoma.
    • To evaluate the treatment outcomes and survival rates for this specific cancer.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 14 patient records with jaw fibrosarcoma.
    • Analysis of demographic data, symptoms, radiographic findings, and histological grading.
    • Assessment of treatment modalities and patient survival rates.

    Main Results:

    • The study included 14 patients (mean age 30 years), with a male predominance.
    • Pain and swelling were the most common presenting symptoms.
    • A 5-year survival rate of 71% was observed, with radical surgery as the preferred treatment.
    • Lung metastases were associated with unfavorable outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Jaw fibrosarcoma exhibits a more favorable prognosis compared to fibrosarcoma elsewhere in the skeleton or jaw osteosarcoma.
    • Radical surgery is the recommended therapeutic approach.
    • Early detection and aggressive treatment are vital to prevent metastasis and improve survival.
