Overview
Esthesioneuroblastoma, also known as olfactory neuroblastoma, is a rare form of cancer involving nasal cavity and believed to arise from the olfactory epithelium. It can cause loss of vision, and taste.[1] Esthesioneuroblastomas are undifferentiated tumors of neuroectodermal origin derived from the olfactory epithelium. The tumor cells are mitotically active and are the precursor cells that develop into sustentacular and neuronal cells. They usually present as a soft tissue mass in the superior olfactory recess involving the anterior and middle ethmoid air-cells on one side and extending through the cribriform plate into the anterior cranial fossa.[2]
Historical Perspective
Esthesioneuroblastoma was first discovered by Berger and Luc, in 1924.[3]
