An Oroauricular Fistula After Mandibular Osteosarcoma Resection

Introduction

Bone tumors are rare malignancies and osteosarcoma is the most common malignant bone tumor. However, only 6% of all osteosarcomas occur in the mandible and maxilla [1]. The location of these tumors also presents a unique set of challenges during resection and repair when compared to long bone tumors.
