Esthesioneuroblastoma is a rare neuroendocrine tumor that arises from the olfactory epithelium and accounts for approximately 3% of all intranasal tumors. The tumor involvement in the nasal cavity with extension to paranasal sinuses, orbit, and anterior cranial fossa, is reported in the literature. In this report, we present an interesting case of isolated sphenoid sinus esthesioneuroblastoma, which is the first case to be reported in the literature, and discuss the pathology, clinical manifestations, and various treatment options for this tumor.
嗅神经母细胞瘤是一种罕见的神经内分泌肿瘤，起源于嗅上皮，约占所有鼻内肿瘤的3%。文献报道了该肿瘤累及鼻腔并扩展至鼻窦、眼眶和前颅窝的情况。在本报告中，我们呈现了一例孤立性蝶窦嗅神经母细胞瘤的有趣病例，这是文献中首次报道的病例，并讨论了该肿瘤的病理学、临床表现及各种治疗选择。
