Olfactory neuroblastoma: report of case.
A case of olfactory neuroblastoma has been presented. The clinical signs and symptoms described in this case are not uncommon and often result in early misdiagnosis. The favorable prognosis for olfactory neuroblastoma dictates early diagnosis, using the clinical signs and symptoms along with adjunctive aids such as incisional biopsy, panoramic survey, and CT scanning. Surgical excision followed by radiation therapy in an early diagnosed case of olfactory neuroblastoma greatly increases the five-year survival rate.
