    AbstractSarcomatoid carcinoma is a rare, malignant biphasic neoplasm with an epithelial and a spindle cell component. Primary sarcomatoid carcinomas arising from mandibular gingiva are known to be extremely rare, with only one case reported to date. Herein, we discuss the radiographic and computed tomographic appearances and pathological features of primary mandibular sarcomatoid carcinoma, which was confirmed by clinicopathology, in a 72-year-old man. In addition, we present a brief review of the relevant literature.
