Maxillary osteosarcoma: two case reports and literature review

Oral Health Dent Manag. 2014 Jun;13(2):525-8.

Abstract

Osteosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor of the maxilla. Although clear surgical margin is the only predictor for the prognosis of the disease, neoadjuvent chemotherapy showed a reasonable effect on the tumor with variable degree of necrosis. In this article, we report two cases where neoadjuvent chemotherapy was used with review of the literature.
