Background: Osteomyelitis is an inflammation of the bone cortex that begins as a medullary cavity infection, quickly jeopardizing the haversian system and spreading to the bone's periosteum. It could come from trauma, inadequate care for a fracture, radiation therapy following surgery, or a persistent odontogenic infection. Clinical representation: A 61-year-old man was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) arising from chronic osteomyelitis in his left mandible. The pathological findings of the excised mandible showed an ulcerated tumor extending to the medullary cavity of the right mandible continuously. Method: A careful pathological evaluation was done for early detection of malignant neoplasms arising from osteomyelitis. Results: Surgery was performed as a treatment modality for extensive osteomyelitis and reconstruction was done. Conclusion: Osteomyelitis is managed by both conservative and surgical management. With the availability of more potent antimicrobials and treatment under aseptic conditions, management of osteomyelitis has been possible.
