Esthesioneuroblastoma is a rare tumor of neural crest origin that arises in the nasal cavity. There is still no consensus on the optimal treatment for this neoplasm, and the literature contains very few accounts of endoscopic excision in these cases. We described a case report of 12-year-old girl with esthesioneuroblastoma that was confined to the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, with no orbital or intracranial extension. The tumor was removed via intranasal endoscopic approach and radiotherapy was administered postoperatively. The patient is currently being followed, and there has been no recurrence in 24 months after surgery.
嗅神经母细胞瘤是一种起源于神经嵴的罕见肿瘤，发生于鼻腔。对于这种肿瘤的最佳治疗方法尚无共识，文献中关于这些病例的内镜切除报道很少。我们描述了一例12岁患有嗅神经母细胞瘤的女孩的病例报告，该肿瘤局限于鼻腔和鼻窦，无眼眶或颅内侵犯。通过鼻内镜手术切除肿瘤，术后给予放疗。目前患者正在接受随访，术后24个月无复发。
