Overview
Biopsy may be helpful in the diagnosis of esthesioneuroblastoma. Findings on biopsy diagnostic of esthesioneuroblastoma include small, round-to-oval cells with coarsely granular chromatin, prominent nuclear membranes, multiple small nucleoli, and scant cytoplasm with pseudorosette or occasional Homer-Wright rosettes separated by fibrous septa. Calcification and necrosis are sometimes seen, and mitotic figures are rare.
Other Diagnostic Studies
- Biopsy and endoscopy should be performed under general anesthesia. The specimen should be sent for regular staining, as well as for immunohistochemistry and possibly electron microscopy.
