Esthesioneuroblastoma, also known as olfactory neuroblastoma, is a malignant tumor of the upper nasal cavity. This report illustrates the case of a 63-year-old woman who presented with intractable headaches. Subsequent radiologic evaluation and correlation with histopathologic analysis confirmed esthesioneuroblastoma. We review herein the typical computed tomographic (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings related to this locally destructive tumor, the prompt diagnosis of which may help prevent long-term morbidity and potentially, mortality. Up-to-date diagnostic criteria, staging, and management considerations are also outlined.
嗅神经母细胞瘤，也称为嗅觉神经母细胞瘤，是一种发生于鼻腔上部的恶性肿瘤。本报告介绍了一名63岁女性患者，她因顽固性头痛前来就诊。随后的影像学评估以及与组织病理学分析的相关性证实为嗅神经母细胞瘤。在此，我们回顾了与这种具有局部破坏性的肿瘤相关的典型计算机断层扫描（CT）和磁共振成像（MR）表现，早期诊断有助于预防长期发病，甚至可能预防死亡。本文还概述了最新的诊断标准、分期及治疗注意事项。
