title: Esthesioneuroblastoma: an unusual cause of frontal lobe dysfunction.
abstract: Esthesioneuroblastoma (olfactory neuroblastoma) is an unusual tumor of neuroectodermal origin, and initial presentation with symptoms characteristic of frontal lobe dysfunction is quite rare. This article describes the case of a patient who was referred to the Charleston Area Medical Center for "depression" but was found to have a esthesioneuroblastoma.
