Abstract
Irradiation-induced sarcomas are well-known potential late sequelae of radiation therapy. These tumors are very aggressive and often elude early detection and timely intervention, rapidly leading to early demise of afflicted patients. Long-term patient follow-up and a high index of suspicion are crucial for timely intervention. In this report, we present a case of irradiation-induced osteosarcoma involving the mandible. Diagnostic and therapeutic considerations are subsequently discussed.Entities:
