Esthesioneuroblastoma is a rare tumor arising from the olfactory mucosa of upper respiratory tract. The primary modality of treatment has been surgery with craniofacial resection followed by post-operative radiotherapy. There are only a few reported cases of non-surgical approaches. We report a case of esthesioneuroblastoma with intracranial extension treated with Vincristine, Adriamycin, Cyclophosphamide, Ifosfamide, Etoposide protocol followed by radiation with 5 years of follow-up. This is the first reported case using this chemotherapy schedule.
嗅神经母细胞瘤是一种起源于上呼吸道嗅黏膜的罕见肿瘤。主要治疗方式为颅面切除术联合术后放疗。非手术治疗方法的报道病例较少。我们报告一例伴有颅内侵犯的嗅神经母细胞瘤病例,采用长春新碱、阿霉素、环磷酰胺、异环磷酰胺、依托泊苷方案化疗后行放疗,并进行了5年随访。这是首例采用该化疗方案的报道病例。
