Abstract
SUMMARY: Οsteosarcomas and chondrosarcomas of the jaws are extremely rare malignant neoplasms, representing only a small number of the total sarcomas of the skeleton. Materials and methods: The retrospective study of the histopathology archives of the Department of Oral Medicine and Pathology during the period 1970-2016 revealed 12 osteosarcomas and 5 chondrosarcomas of the jaws, in a total of 33,542 biopsies of the corresponding period. Their epidemiological, clinical, radiographic and histopa tho logical characteristics were recorded and analysed. Results: Osteosarcomas occurred more frequently in males with a mean age of 40 years, while chondrosarcomas showed a female predilection and the mean age of patients was 44 years. Clinically, all neoplasms were described as swellings, occasionally ulcerated, most commonly located in the mandible, with variable radiographic appearance. The predominant histologic subtype of osteosarcomas was chondroblastic, while most of them as well as all of the chondrosarcomas were poorly differentiated.
