Mandibular and maxillary osteosarcomas account for 6% to 9% of all the osteosarcomas.

Patient is on regular followup for the past two years and investigations done to rule out recurrence. Postoperatively patient is maintaining a good quality of life. Conclusion- Neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy with surgical excision can be a good treatment modality for the management of mandibular osteosarcoma
