Résumé
The diagnosis of craniofacial osteosarcoma can be quite challenging, and the condition often goes unrecognized for a considerable period of time. In this report, we discuss the case of a 21-year old woman who presented with a one-year history of a small swelling over the left maxillary alveolar ridge. Upon further investigation, the histopathological examination showed high-grade chondroblastic osteosarcoma. The option of four cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen preoperatively was chosen, and left inferior maxillectomy was performed along with reconstruction with obturator prosthesis. This case highlights the difficulties encountered in such rare cases of craniofacial osteosarcomas both in terms of the delay in the establishment of the diagnosis as well as management protocol. A high index of suspicion is required in cases of craniofacial osteosarcoma and early surgical resection with adequate safety margins is warranted.
