Osteosarcoma is a malignant neoplasm of mesenchymal cells which produces defective osteoid or immature bone. Osteosarcoma of the jaw is very rare and represents only 6-8% of all osteosarcomas in the body. It exhibits diverse clinical, radiological and histopathological manifestations resulting in misdiagnosis and diagnostic delay. This case reports emphasizes the veiled behavior of osteosarcoma of maxilla, initially presented as a periapical lesion which later transformed in to an aggressive neoplasm after local curettage and resection followed, by recurrence of the lesion even after surgery, creating a challenge for its diagnosis and management.
