Abstract

A rare case of an osteosarcoma of the mandible in a 75-year-old person was reported, and the literature on those 75 years and older were reviewed. The clinical, radiological and histopathological findings were similar to those of cases in younger people. In accordance with an increase in the older population, the number of secondary osteosarcomas has increased, but osteosarcoma of the jawbone in those 75 years and older is still very rare.
