ABSTRACT
We present a case of successfully treated primary osteosarcoma [OS] of the tibia with an isolated maxillary metastasis, which is an extremely rare entity. Once histopathologically proved, a total maxillectomy with adjuvant chemo-radiation was carried out. Local recurrence and distant metastasis have been negative for the past year. Surgery is the gold standard of treatment in operable cases. Adjuvant treatment is required to prevent local recurrence and distant metastases. Amulti-modality therapeutic approach is essential in treating these patients
