title: [Olfactory neuroblastoma in an old patient. Report of a case].
abstract: Olfactory neuroblastoma or esthesioneuroblastoma is a rare embrionary tumor, much more in old patients, which uses to present as a pollipoid mass with nasal obstruction, epistaxis and anosmia of long evolution. We report the case of a 82-year-old male with such symptoms diagnosed by biopsy as neuroblastoma class III according the histologic Hyams grading. Due to the age of the patient and grade of the tumor we did not perform surgery and, although a chemotherapy-radiotherapy treatment was suggested, the patient was not agree with it and he has not been attended or followed in our consulting rooms.
