CASE REPORT OF OLFACTORY NEUROBLASTOMA. (Esthesioneuroblastoma)

Dr. Saketh Rao, Dr. Zalak Panchal

Abstract :

 Esthesioneuroblatoma (ENB) is a rare tumor arising from the olfactory epithelium of the nasal vault which frequently invades the cranial base, cranial vault and orbit. ENB has a bimodal age distribution between 11 and 20 years and between 51 and 60 years. ENB accounts for approximately 1 to 5% of intranasal cancers. The diagnosis may be delayed for several months due to its slow growing nature. It may be misdiagnosed with other small round cell tumors. Here we describe a case of olfactory neuroblastoma in a 50-year-old female presented with left sided nasal blockage and episodes of epistaxis.
