Abstract
Typical osteoblastoma is generally considered to be a rare benign primary bone tumor that is seen primarily in children and young adults and curable by complete excision. However, the recurrence, aggressive behavior, or malignant transformation of this lesion was reported in some cases. It is reported that the malignant or aggressive osteoblatoma is really osteoblastoma-like osteosarcoma. Therefore, although this lesion is diagnosed as benign histologically. the operator must observe the postoperative course carefully. This article is to report a case of osteoblastoma-like osteosarcoma occurred in the mandible of 22 years old male patient with literature review.
