Abstract	Osteosarcoma is a malignant mesenchymal tumour characterized by the production of osteoid matrix by neoplastic cells. While commonly affecting the long bones, osteosarcoma of the jawbones is a rare entity, accounting for less than 10% of all osteosarcomas. Here we present a case report of 50 a year old female, who presented to our institute with a chief complaint of pain and swelling in the right lower one-third of their face for 2 weeks. Emphasizing the clinical, radiological, and histopathological features, we diagnosed the lesion as osteosarcoma. Osteosarcoma of the oral cavity is a rare and aggressive malignancy that often presents with nonspecific symptoms, leading to delayed diagnosis. Radiographic features such as mixed radiolucent-radiopaque lesions and a sunburst appearance can aid in early detection. Histologically, characterized by malignant mesenchymal cells producing osteoid. The objective of presenting this case is that osteosarcoma is a rare but aggressive tumour that requires a high index of suspicion and timely diagnosis
