Esthesioneuroblastoma: an unusual cause of frontal lobe dysfunction.
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.
