A case of osteosarcoma that metastasized to the mandibular ramus from the femur in a 36-year-old man is presented. The patient was referred to us for the diagnosis and treatment of swelling of the left cheek. Radiologic examination showed a radiolucent lesion containing radiopaque areas within the left mandibular ramus. The patient previously suffered from a femoral small cell osteosarcoma, which was resected 71 months before our first examination. After induction of general anesthesia, a unilateral mandibulectomy and a simultaneous reconstruction using a titanium plate and an artificial condyle were performed. The postoperative course was uneventful, with satisfactory facial appearance and jaw function. The histopathologic features of the mandibular tumor were identical to those of the femoral tumor. Thus the mandibular lesion was diagnosed as a metastatic small cell osteosarcoma. At 27 months after the operation there had been no recurrence.
