ABSTRACT
A fibrosarcoma is a neoplastic growth originating from malignant, fibroblast-like mesenchymal cells. This malignant tumor shows an increased tendency for expansion and recurrence and a propensity to metastasize, especially to the lungs. Despite their rarity, fibrosarcomas have the potential to manifest in any anatomical location. An oncologist referred their patient due to reported mandibular discomfort, ache, and swelling. The biopsy revealed a fibrosarcoma resembling a periapical lesion of endodontic origin. The timely intervention and the collaboration among different but complementary medical and dental specialties ensure that the patient may enjoy a prolonged life expectancy as symptom-free as possible.
