Two cases of
osteosarcoma
of the jaws in children are reported. One patient was a 13-year-old girl whose first symptoms included nasal and maxillary
sinus congestion
, followed by epistaxis. She was found to have chondroblastic osteosarcoma extending through the left maxillary alveolar process and sinus. Following surgery and chemotherapy, the patient has been free of disease for 7 years. The second patient, an 8-year-old boy, was diagnosed with juxtacortical (parosteal)
osteosarcoma
of the mandible, which is a less aggressive variant of the neoplasm. It is believed that this is the youngest patient reported to date with juxtacortical
osteosarcoma
of the jaws. He was treated by block resection of the right side of the mandible and is free of disease 3(1/2) years later.
