Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Osteosarcoma is a malignant bone tumor, rare in the maxilla.
  • Maxillary osteosarcoma can present with diverse clinical and radiographic features.

Observation:

  • A 41-year-old woman presented with unusual supracrestal bone formation in the maxilla.
  • Radiographic findings included widened periodontal ligaments and significant buccal and palatal swelling.

Findings:

  • The case demonstrated a unique radiographic presentation of maxillary osteosarcoma.
  • Histopathology revealed evidence of cemental resorption, a previously unreported finding in this context.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of maxillary osteosarcoma's varied presentations.
  • Highlights the importance of considering rare diagnoses in complex maxillofacial swelling cases.
  • Suggests cemental resorption as a potential diagnostic marker for maxillary osteosarcoma.
