Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) is a rare malignant neoplasm of sinonasal tract, derived from olfactory epithelium. Unilateral nasal obstruction, epistaxis, sinusitis, and headaches are common symptoms. Olfactory neuroblastoma shows neuroendocrine differentiation and similarly to other neuroendocrine tumors can produce several types of peptic substances and hormones. Excess production of these substances can be responsible for different types of endocrinological paraneoplastic syndromes (PNS). Moreover, besides endocrinological, in ONB may also occur neurological PNS, caused by immune cross-reactivity between tumor and normal host tissues in the nervous system. Paraneoplastic syndromes in ONB include: syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion (SIADH), ectopic ACTH syndrome (EAS), humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy (HHM), hypertension due to catecholamine secretion by tumor, opsoclonus-myoclonus-ataxia (OMA) and paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration. Paraneoplastic syndromes in ONB tend to have atypical features, therefore diagnosis may be difficult. In this review, we described initial symptoms, patterns of presentation, treatment and outcome of paraneoplastic syndromes in ONB, reported in the literature.
嗅神经母细胞瘤(ONB)是一种源自嗅上皮的鼻窦罕见恶性肿瘤。单侧鼻塞、鼻出血、鼻窦炎和头痛是常见症状。嗅神经母细胞瘤表现出神经内分泌分化,与其他神经内分泌肿瘤相似,可产生多种类型的消化物质和激素。这些物质的过量产生可导致不同类型的内分泌副肿瘤综合征(PNS)。此外,除内分泌方面外,ONB还可能出现神经学方面的PNS,这是由肿瘤与神经系统中正常宿主组织之间的免疫交叉反应引起的。ONB中的副肿瘤综合征包括:抗利尿激素分泌不当综合征(SIADH)、异位促肾上腺皮质激素综合征(EAS)、恶性肿瘤体液性高钙血症(HHM)、肿瘤分泌儿茶酚胺导致的高血压、眼阵挛-肌阵挛-共济失调(OMA)和副肿瘤性小脑变性。ONB中的副肿瘤综合征往往具有非典型特征,因此诊断可能困难。在本综述中,我们描述了文献报道的ONB中副肿瘤综合征的初始症状、表现形式、治疗及预后。
