Abstract

Osteosarcoma accounts for 40–60% of primary malignant bone tumors. About 10% occur in the head and neck region, frequently in the mandible and maxilla. Zygomatic arch is a very rare site of involvement. We report a rare case of primary osteosarcoma of the left zygomatic arch in a 30-year-old male with a review of literature. Only six cases of primary osteogenic sarcoma of zygomatic arch have been reported in the literature. The present case is the 7th in the series of reported cases of osteosarcoma of zygomatic arch till date.
