Fibrosarcoma of mandible: A case report

Abstract

Fibrosarcomas is an uncommon connective tissue growth that rises from the proliferation of malignant fibroblasts. Local recurrence is frequent, but metastasis is rare. About 0.05% of cases are affected in the head and neck. We report a case of mandibular fibrosarcoma in a 30-year-old man who presented with intraoral swelling in the ridge of the left mandibular alveolus. Histopathology showed the proliferation of malignant fibroblast cells arranged in a classic herringbone pattern.
