This article reports on a case of a low grade osteosarcoma of the maxilla. A 30-year-old woman came with a chief complain of recurrent ossifying fibroma of the maxillae. The clinical picture showed a well defined, pedunculated, roughly rectangular growth arising from posterior left maxillary tooth region.
