Osteosarcoma as a second cancer occurring in an adolescent male
previously treated with only chemotherapy for Hodgkin′s lymphoma
is rare. A 14 year old male presented with gradual swelling of right
jaw and numbness of lip and chin for last three months. He was treated
with only chemotherapy for Hodgkin′s lymphoma four years back.
Incisional biopsy was taken from mandibular swelling, histopathology
suggesting osteosarcoma. Right hemimandibulectomy and reconstruction
with metallic implant were done along with excision of right parotid
lymph node. Chemotherapy was started with cisplatin and doxorubicin
regimen. Absence of radiation as a risk factor and very young age of
the patient presenting with a second cancer made this case a rarity and
hence the case is being reported.
