Abstract
OBJECTIVES Due to the rarity of olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB), there is ongoing debate about optimal treatment strategies, especially for early-stage or locally advanced cases. Therefore, our study aimed to explore experiences from multiple centers to identify factors that influence the oncological outcomes of ONB. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 195 ONB patients treated at nine tertiary hospitals in South Korea between December 1992 and December 2019. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to evaluate oncological outcomes, and a Cox proportional hazards regression model was employed to analyze prognostic factors for survival outcomes. Furthermore, we conducted 1:1 nearest-neighbor matching to investigate differences in clinical outcomes according to the use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. RESULTS In our cohort, the 5-year overall survival (OS) rate was 78.6%, and the 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate was 62.4%. The Cox proportional hazards model revealed that the modified Kadish (mKadish) stage and Dulguerov T status were significantly associated with DFS, while the mKadish stage and Hyams grade were identified as prognostic factors for OS. The subgroup analyses indicated a trend toward improved 5-year DFS with dural resection in mKadish A and B cases, even though the result was statistically insignificant. Induction chemotherapy did not provide a survival benefit in this study after matching for the mKadish stage and nodal status. CONCLUSION Clinical staging and pathologic grading are important prognostic factors in ONB. Dural resection in mKadish A and B did not show a significant survival benefit. Similarly, induction chemotherapy also did not show a survival benefit, even after stage matching.

Abstract
Objectives To evaluate the imaging characteristics of the tumor, emphasizing its location, and to determine the frequency of typical and atypical locations of olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB). Materials and Methods We retrospectively reviewed the computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings of patients with pathologically proven ONB between April 2000 and April 2023. Demographic information, chief complaints, tumor location, and tumor extension were extracted. Results Of the 58 patients, 50 (86.2%) had the epicenter of the mass at the superior part of the nasal cavity, while eight patients (13.8%) had the epicenter at other atypical locations: seven patients (12.1%) at the middle part of the nasal cavity and one patient (1.7%) within both sphenoid sinuses. Conclusion ONB is not always present in the upper part or the roof of the nasal cavity, and a significant number of ONBs are occasionally found in the rest of the nasal cavity and other atypical locations.

Abstract
Olfactory neuroblastomas are uncommon malignancies that arise from olfactory receptor cells located high in the nasal cavity. Accurate diagnosis plays a crucial role in determining clinical results and guiding treatment decisions. Diagnosis can be a major challenge for pathologists, especially when dealing with tumours with poor differentiation. The discovery of several molecular and immunohistochemical markers would help to overcome classification difficulties. Due to the paucity of large-scale studies, standardisation of diagnosis, treatment and prediction of outcome remains a challenge. Surgical resection by endoscopic techniques with the addition of postoperative irradiation is the treatment of choice. In addition, it is advisable to consider elective neck irradiation to minimise the risk of nodal recurrence. Molecular characterisation will help not only to make more accurate diagnoses but also to identify specific molecular targets that can be used to develop personalised treatment options tailored to each patient. The present review aims to summarise the current state of knowledge on histopathological diagnosis, the molecular biology and management of this disease.

The impact of multidisciplinary approaches on the outcomes of olfactory neuroblastoma treated with postoperative radiotherapy. Cancer Med 2024; 13:e6943.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We investigated the outcomes of postoperative radiation therapy for olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) and our cross-departmental collaboration to enhance the effectiveness of cancer treatment. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 22 patients with ONB who underwent postoperative radiotherapy after tumor resection. En bloc resection was performed; pathology specimens were prepared in coronal sections; and irradiation fields were determined after discussion with radiation oncologists, head and neck surgeons, and pathologists. RESULTS The overall survival and local control rates were 95.5% and 100%, respectively, at a median 37-month follow-up. The 3- and 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rates were 64.4% and 56.3%, respectively. Of the 22 patients, 9 (8 Kadish C and 1 Kadish B) had disease recurrence. Of the nine patients, five had positive margins and two had closed margins; cervical lymph node recurrence occurred in six, and distant metastasis with or without cervical lymph node recurrence occurred in three. DFS analysis of risk factors showed no statistically significant differences, but positive margins were a significant recurrence factor in multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS The local control rate of ONB treated with postoperative radiation therapy was 100%. This may be attributed to cross-departmental cooperation between head and neck surgeons, pathologists, and radiation oncologists, which resulted in accurate matching of CT images for treatment planning with the location of the tumor and positive margins. Longer follow-up periods are required to evaluate the effectiveness of our strategy.

Abstract
Esthesioneuroblastoma (ENB) is a rare sinonasal malignancy that is typically managed with a combination of surgical resection, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Data used to guide therapeutic decision making are scant and typically obtained from small retrospective series due to the relative infrequency of the diagnosis. Here, we report our own institutional experience in the management of patients with ENB to help compliment these prior single institutional reports. Records from patients receiving treatment for ENB at the University of Minnesota Medical Center were obtained from 1994 to 2019. A total of 17 patients were identified from our retrospective review. Kadish stage at initial presentation was A in 2 (12%), B in 5 (29%), C in 9 (53%) and D in 1 (6%). All patients underwent surgical resection. Adjuvant radiotherapy was utilized in 12 (71%) patients with concurrent chemotherapy administered in 3 (18%) patients. One patient received neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by surgical resection. Four patients developed recurrent disease with locoregional failure presenting as the most common site of initial relapse within our study population. Isolated local recurrence occurred in 2 patients, one patient developed combined local and regional failure, while another had combined regional and distant failure with osseous metastases. Recurrent disease was managed by either combined salvage surgery and radiotherapy (RT) or RT alone. Three of the 4 patients who developed recurrence eventually succumbed to their disease. Estimates for 5-year DFS and OS were 65% and 90%, respectively, for the entire cohort.

Abstract
Background Olfactory neuroblastoma is a rare epithelial malignancy arising from the odorant receptors in the nasal mucosa or along the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone. Clinical presentation includes nasal stuffiness, local pain, epistaxis, anosmia, visual impairment, proptosis, headache, and seizures. Radiologic imaging with CT or MRI, an ophthalmic evaluation, and histopathologic confirmation with immunohistochemistry are parts of the initial diagnostic workup. Although surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation have an equally important role in the management, earlier stages may preferably be treated with surgery or radiotherapy and the later stages with a multimodality approach. Materials and Methods We conducted a retrospective review of 13 patients diagnosed with olfactory neuroblastoma, registered at Mehdi Nawaz Jung Regional Cancer Center over a decade (2010-2019). We analyzed the age and sex distribution, performance status at presentation, clinical symptomatology, and the Kadish stage. In addition, the therapeutic aspects of patients were studied. Results The most common presentation noted was nasal stuffiness, followed by epistaxis and proptosis. The majority of patients had good performance status at presentation. Ten patients presented with a Kadish stage C, while the remaining patients presented with Kadish stage B. Cervical nodal metastasis was seen in three patients, four patients received multimodality treatment with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery, two patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radiation, two patients received only surgery, and one patient received surgery followed by adjuvant radiation. Conformal radiation techniques were used to deliver doses as high as 50 to 66 Gy in 2 Gy per fraction. Two patients presented with distant metastasis during follow-up, one with bone metastasis, and the other with retroperitoneal nodal metastasis; they received palliative chemotherapy and conformal radiation to the primary site. Conclusion This study concludes that neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radiation gives the best outcomes. It has been observed that in multi-modality treatment, radiotherapy played a significant role in improving overall survival and better outcomes. Multidisciplinary discussions provide a better sequencing of management.

Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term oncologic outcome and review the state of the art in the management of olfactory neuroblastomas. Material and Methods: The records of all patients treated for olfactory neuroblastomas in two academic departments between 1975 and 2012 were evaluated retrospectively. Data on epidemiological parameters were collected (age, gender), along with staging (Kadish, Morita), histologic grading (Hyams), time and form of treatment, locoregional control, and disease-specific and overall survival. Patients with other malignant diseases, distant metastases of olfactory neuroblastomas at the time of initial diagnosis, a follow-up time of less than 5 years, or insufficient clinical-pathological data were excluded from further analysis. Results: In total, 53 cases made up our final study sample (26 men, 27 women; male–female ratio 0.96:1). Their mean age was 48.6 years (range: 10–84 years). The mean follow-up time was 137.5 months (4–336 months, SD: 85.0). A total of 5 out of 53 study cases (9.4%) showed metastatic involvement of the neck at the time of initial presentation. Local recurrence was detected in 8/53 (15.1%) and regional recurrence in 7/53 of our study cases (13.2%). Three patients (42.8%) from the group of cases with surgery as the sole form of management (7/53, 13.2%) died due to the disease. The cumulative disease-specific survival and overall survivalfor the whole group of patients were 88.6% and 63.6%, respectively. The cumulative disease-specific survival stratified by Kadish A/B vs. Kadish C/D as well as Hyams I/II vs. Hyams III/IV showed superior results for limited tumors, albeit without significance, and low-grade tumors (highly significant difference). Conclusion: Craniofacial or sometimes solely endoscopically controlled resection can warrant resection of the olfactory neuroblastoma with wide margins. However, locoregional failures and distant metastases can occur after a long period of time. The non-negligible incidence of regional recurrences, partly in unusual localizations, leads us to consider the need to identify the “recurrence-friendly” cases and to perform individualized elective irradiation of the neck in cases with high-risk features.

Abstract
Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) is a rare malignant tumor that typically arises in the lungs. It is especially rare in the sinonasal cavity, and treatment has not been established. In this study, we present the case of a 56-year-old woman with a large sinonasal LCNEC that extended into her brain. We performed endonasal endoscopic and transcranial combined surgery followed by chemoradiation therapy. The combined surgery enabled us to approach and remove the extensive tumor from two different directions at one time less invasively. We have achieved good tumor control for 18 months so far.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this retrospective surveillance, epidemiology, and end results (SEER) registry analysis, we investigated the role of chemotherapy (CT) in the treatment of olfactory neuroblastoma (ON), an exceedingly rare sino-nasal tumor typically treated with surgery and/or radiation therapy (RT). METHODS We analyzed all patients in the SEER registry diagnosed with a single primary malignancy of ON, a primary tumor site within the nasal cavity or surrounding sinuses, sufficient staging information to derive Kadish staging, and >0 days of survival, ensuring follow-up data. Receipt of CT in the SEER registry was documented as either Yes or No/Unknown. RESULTS Six hundred and thirty-six patients were identified. One hundred and ninety-five patients received CT as part of their treatment for ON. Following propensity score matching and inverse probability of treatment weighting, there was inferior overall survival (OS) (HR 1.7, 95% CI: 1.3-2.2, P = .001) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) (HR 1.8, 95% CI: 1.3-2.4, P < .001) for patients who received CT compared to those who were not treated with CT or had unknown CT status. On subgroup analysis, the only patient population that derived benefit from CT were patients who did not receive surgery and were treated with CT and/or RT (HR 0.3, 95% CI: 0.14-0.61, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Based on this retrospective SEER registry analysis, the use of CT in the management of ON is associated with decreased OS. Our analysis suggests that patients who are considered nonsurgical candidates may benefit from the addition of CT.

Only articles that included each patient's demographics, tumor stage, treatment, or survival were included. A total of 22 articles with 104 patients were considered for this literature review. We also present five cases of ENB, all encountered in our health system, between 2010 and 2020.Results: The median age of diagnosis of orbit involving ENB was 44.5 years. Males were more likely affected than females at 72.9%. Common presenting ocular symptoms were visual change (38.1%), periorbital pain (33.3%), and diplopia (14.3%). Common clinical exam findings were proptosis (47.6%), extraocular movement deficit (23.8%), and periorbital edema (19.0%). Twenty-seven patients (77.1%) received surgery, 22 patients (62.9%) received chemotherapy, and 30 patients (85.7%) received radiation therapy as part of their treatment. Median duration of survival was 124.0 months and 5-year overall survival (OS) was 67.1%. Hyams, Kadish, and Dulguerov T-staging showed inconsistent survival prognosis while orbital invasion and lymph node metastasis had worse outcomes. Our five cases exhibited the spectrum of disease processes evidenced above, with four involving the orbit.Conclusions: ENB is a rare sinonasal tumor that can invade the orbit. Because of its rarity, no single staging system appears superior. Resection with radiation therapy has superior survival results while the benefits of chemotherapy are currently unknown.

Proposal of a TNM classification-based staging system for esthesioneuroblastoma: More precise prediction of prognosis. Head Neck 2020; 43:1097-1104. [PMID: 33301222 DOI: 10.1002/hed.26559] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2020] [Revised: 10/01/2020] [Accepted: 11/20/2020] [Indexed: 01/31/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Esthesioneuroblastoma (ENB) is a rare malignant neoplasm. Currently, no consistent and universal staging system for ENB exists. The aim of this study is to propose a TNM-based classification. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Hundred and forty-two patients from our institution, with ENB pathologically confirmed between July 1978 and December 2018, were reviewed. All patients were restaged according to the Kadish stage, Morita stage and American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) T classification from clinical and radiological data. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analyses were performed to determine the impact of various factors. The goodness-of-fit and predictive accuracy of the different staging systems were calculated using R software. RESULTS The median follow-up time was 57 months (range: 4-229 months). According to the Kadish system, the 5-year overall survival (OS) for patients with stage A, B and C was 100%, 83.6% and 64.2%, respectively (P = .055). With respect to the Morita classification, 5-year OS for stages A, B, C and D was 100%, 83.6%, 70.7% and 50.0%, respectively (P = .004). Analysis based on the proposed staging model demonstrated 5-year OS for stage I, II, III and IV disease was 100%, 88.9%, 75.9% and 49.0%, respectively (P < .001). In separate multivariate Cox regression models, only the novel staging system exhibited independent effects on OS (P = .004); the Akaike information criterion and Harrell's concordance index were also superior to those calculated for the Kadish or Morita systems. CONCLUSIONS The proposed TNM-based staging system offers an improved prognostic assessment for patients with ENB. Further verification and refinement from additional dataset application is required.

Abstract
RATIONABLE Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) is a rare malignant tumor of the nasal cavity, the primary local symptoms are usually inconspicuous. Patients are often admitted to various specialties based on different primary symptoms, which may result in delayed diagnosis and even a misdiagnosis. PATIENT CONCERNS Here we report a case of ONB that presented initially as multiple ostealgia without any local symptoms of the tumor and primarily misdiagnosed as multiple myeloma. The patient was a 47-year-old female with bone pain at multiple sites. The initial diagnosis was considered as multiple myeloma. However, the morphologic examination of bone marrow suggested that the tumor cells originated from the nervous tissues. After the positron emission computed tomography scan, the primary lesion in the nasal cavity was located, and a biopsy was performed. DIAGNOSIS The final diagnosis of ONB was confirmed by histopathological tests. INTERVENTIONS The patient was treated with metronomic chemotherapy. OUTCOMES The symptoms of bone pain were significantly relieved 3 months later. The emission computed tomography scan of the whole body bones and the magnetic resonance imaging of the head showed that the tumor size did not change significantly and proved a progression-free of the disease. LESSONS It is a reasonable strategy to identify the original latent tumor by a prompt positron emission computed tomography scan when the primary diagnosis indicates a metastatic disease, especially for the occult malignancies like ONB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB), the combination of surgical tumor resection and radiation therapy (RT) has been considered the "gold standard" in treatment protocols intended to cure. OBJECTIVE To summarize evidence on the treatment of ONB using surgery alone. METHODS A retrospective institutional case series, a systematic review of the literature, and an individual patient data (IPD) meta-analysis on only surgically treated ONB patients. RESULTS At our institution, a total of 10 patients were treated through surgery alone and remained alive and free of disease at last follow-up. The IPD meta-analysis on 128 patients revealed a disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) of 67.7% and 75.4% at 5 years and 57.1% and 71.9% at 10 years, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that Kadish stage C/D and Hyams grading III//IV significantly affected OS (P = 0.000 and P = 0.000) and DFS (P = 0.000 and P = 0.002). For low-risk patients, the DFS was 80.6% at 5 years and 67.8% at 10 years, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Surgery alone is an equivalent alternative to combined treatment in carefully selected low-risk ONB patients with better outcome measures than previously reported.

Abstract
Sinonasal malignant tumors are characterized by high histological variability and complexity of the differential diagnosis. Currently, there are classifications of these tumors, which are based on their localization and involvement of various anatomical structures. However, generally accepted algorithms for treatment of this pathology have not yet been developed. This review describes the most important algorithms for treatment of the most common histological variants of sinonasal malignant tumors: squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma, esthesioneuroblastoma, adenoid cystic cancer, and sinonasal adenocarcinoma. The main problems in choosing the approach for treating these tumors are the lack of generally accepted resectability criteria and contradictions between oncological and neurosurgical indications for surgical treatment. Further research is needed to study the role of radiosensitizers and radioprotectors in comprehensive treatment of sinonasal malignant tumors.

Abstract
Introduction: Esthesioneuroblastoma, also known as olfactory neuroblastoma, is a small round blue cell tumor of nasal neuroepithelium first described in 1924. Though this tumor is especially rare in the pediatric population with an incidence of <0.1 per 100,000, it is the most common pediatric nasal cavity neoplasm. The purpose of this systematic review is to examine the treatment modalities utilized for pediatric esthesioneuroblastoma and overall survival. Methods: A systematic review was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. Pubmed, EMBASE, and Ovid MEDLINE databases were queried for studies pertinent to treatment modalities for pediatric esthesioneuroblatoma and survival outcomes. Results: Two hundred and seventy-sixth articles were identified, with seven meeting inclusion criteria. Ninety-four patients with an age range of 0.9–21 years old with esthesioneuroblastoma were included. Nearly 90% of patients were of stage Kadish B or C at time of presentation, while 20% presented with cervical lymphadenopathy. Only about 10% of patients underwent single modality therapy. Overall, 5-year survival ranged from 44 to 91% with a median follow-up of 3–13 years. Conclusion: Children with esthesioneuroblastoma usually present at an advanced stage and undergo multi-modality therapy at a higher rate than adult patients. There is a wide range of documented overall survival though this lack of precision could be due to a paucity of patients.

Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate efficacy and safety of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) in the management of esthesioneuroblastoma (ENB). Methods and Materials: A retrospectively analysis of 52 ENB patients treated with IMRT between 8/2008 and 8/2018 was performed. Thirteen of the 44 patients (29.5%) with newly diagnosed and 2 of the 8 patients with recurrent disease presented regional lymph node metastasis. The median dose of IMRT was 66 (range 52.5-75) Gy for all patients. Elective nodal irradiation (ENI) was provided to all excluding 6 patients in this cohort. Results: With a median follow-up time of 32.5 (6~121) months, the 3-year overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), local progression-free survival (LPFS), regional progression-free survival (RPFS), and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) rates for the entire cohort were 89.7, 69.5, 89.7, 95.1, and 85.4%, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that N-classification (N- vs. N+) at presentation was the only significant prognosticators for PFS. No significant prognosticator was identified for other survival outcome. No severe (i.e., grade 3 or 4) IMRT-induced acute toxicity was observed. Severe late toxicities were infrequent (11.5%), which included dysosmia (3.8%), hearing loss (3.8%), radiation brain injury (1.9%), and temporal lobe necrosis (1.9%). Moreover, late ocular toxicity secondary to IMRT was not observed. Conclusion: IMRT produced acceptable 3-year outcomes in terms of OS (89.7%), LPFS (89.7%), and RPFS (95.1%) rates without substantial late adverse effects. Further investigations for a more effective systemic strategy for distant disease control as well as a precision radiation technique for further improvement in local control are needed.

Abstract
Background: Tumors originating from the craniofacial region usually present in a locally advanced stage with frequent involvement of adjacent sites and have a strong tendency for local recurrence in the absence of adjuvant therapy, even when the original surgical resection was presumed to be radical. In the past decades, several advances in the radiological diagnosis and treatment of craniofacial malignancies have been introduced. There are, however, no randomized trials that define the optimal multimodal treatment of these tumors because of their rarity as well as heterogeneity in both histology and site of origin. The aim of this study was to conduct a critical review of the role of adjuvant therapy in the treatment of craniofacial malignancy. Method: We conducted a critical review of the past and contemporary literature available, focusing on adjuvant oncological treatments of the most common craniofacial malignancies. Results: Preoperative radiotherapy can have a documented role in the treatment of olfactory neuroblastoma and soft tissue sarcoma, while preoperative chemotherapy can be advocated in the treatment of sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma, neuroendocrine carcinoma, olfactory neuroblastoma, and craniofacial sarcoma (both soft-tissue and high-grade osteosarcoma). Postoperative radiotherapy has a well-established role in the treatment of most craniofacial malignancies. The role of postoperative chemotherapy is unclear in most histologies, but is commonly used during the treatment of well-selected cases of paranasal sinus carcinoma, olfactory neuroblastoma, mucosal melanoma, soft tissue sarcoma and high-grade craniofacial osteosarcoma. Discussion: Alongside developments in surgery, there have also been improvements in diagnostics, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Implementation of novel radiation techniques allows delivery of higher radiation doses while minimizing irradiation-related morbidity. Better understanding of tumor biology allows the construction of more complex treatment strategies, incorporating adjuvant chemotherapy either pre- or postoperatively. In the era of personalized targeted therapy, rapid strides are being made to identify specific tumor-targets for use of novel biologic agents, with the potential to change current management paradigms.

Abstract
Background To report the clinical experience and short-term efficacy in the management of olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB). Methods We performed a retrospective analysis of 12 ONB patients treated with particle beam radiation therapy (PBRT) between 12/2015 and 5/2019 at the Shanghai Proton and Heavy Ion Center. Four (33.3%) patients presented with Kadish B ONB, and 8 (66.7%) presented with Kadish C or D disease. Eleven patients received proton radiotherapy (PRT) followed by a carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) boost, one patient received CIRT only. The 2-year survival rates were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Acute and late adverse events were summarized and scored according to the CTCAE (version 4.03). Results With a median follow-up of 17.5 (range, 2.53–49.9) months, all patients but 1 were alive. Eight patients were alive without evidence of disease, and 2 additional patients achieved partial response and remained alive with residual disease. One patient died of toxicity associated with salvage chemotherapy for distant metastasis and local failure. Another patient developed distant metastasis only and was alive at the time of the last follow-up. The 2-year OS, PFS, LRPFS, and DMFS rates were 83.3%, 75.8%, 87.5%, and 79.5%, respectively. No acute or late toxicities of ≥ grade 3 was observed. Conclusions Intensity modulated PBRT of ONB is well tolerated. While longer follow-up is needed, early outcomes suggested that PBRT is safe and effective for the treatment of ONB with minimal adverse events.

[PMID: 32500004 PMCID: PMC7253300 DOI: 10.1055/s-0039-1692479] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2019] [Accepted: 05/08/2019] [Indexed: 10/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) is a rare head and neck cancer believed to be originated from neural crest cells of the olfactory membrane located in the roof of the nasal fossa. This study evaluates clinical outcomes and failure patterns in ONB patients of those patients treated with surgical resection at a high-volume tertiary cancer center. Methods and Materials Thirty-nine ONB patients who underwent surgical resection at our institution from 1996 to 2017 were retrospectively identified. Univariate, multivariate, and survival analysis were calculated using Cox regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier log-rank. Results Median follow-up time was 59 months (range: 5.2-236 months). The median overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) for the entire cohort were 15 and 7.6 years, respectively. The 5-year cumulative OS and DFS were 83 and 72%, respectively. The 5-year OS for low Hyams grade (LHG) versus high Hyams grade (HHG) was 95 versus 61% ( p = 0.041). LHG was found in 66% of the early Kadish stage patients compared with 28% in the advanced Kadish stage patients ( p = 0.057). On multivariate analysis, HHG and positive node status predicted for worse OS and only HHG predicted for worse DFS. Of note, five patients (all Kadish stage A) who received surgical resection alone had no observed deaths or recurrences with a median follow-up of 44 months (range: 5-235 months). Conclusion In this retrospective cohort, patients with positive nodes or HHG have significantly worse clinical outcomes. Future studies should explore treatment intensification for HHG or positive nodes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the Kadish and the modified Dulguerov staging of individual participants to determine the impact of stage and other prognostic factors on disease-free (DFS) and overall survival (OS). DATA SOURCES Systematic review of EMBASE, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and CINAHL databases. REVIEW METHODS The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) was followed for this study. Articles including patients with olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) staged with both Kadish and Dulguerov staging systems were reviewed. The raw data from eligible studies were requested to perform an individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis. RESULTS Pooled data from 21 studies representing 399 patients with ONB undergoing treatment with curative intent showed that increasing age, treatment with chemotherapy, and positive or unreported margin status portended worse DFS (P < .05). Increasing stage for both Kadish and Dulguerov staging systems was prognostic for worse DFS and OS (P < .05), with Kadish C representing a heterogeneous group with regard to outcome and corresponding Dulguerov T stage. Using the Akaike information criterion, the Dulguerov staging system had superior performance to the Kadish system for DFS (1088.72 vs 1092.54) and OS (632.71 vs 644.23). CONCLUSION This study represents the first IPD meta-analysis of ONB directly comparing the outcomes of Kadish and Dulguerov staging systems in patients treated with primary surgery. Both systems correlated with DFS and OS, with superior performance in the Dulguerov system. Furthermore, the Kadish C group represented a heterogeneous group with regard to outcomes after stratification by the Dulguerov system. Dulguerov T4 patients had the worst outcome, with most being approached with open resection.

Abstract
Pulmonary metastasis of an esthesioneuroblastoma is uncommon. In this report, we present a case of an esthesioneuroblastoma pulmonary metastasis in an adult. A 39-year-old man treated with surgical resection of olfactory neuroblastoma was found to have a solitary pulmonary mass on a surveillance computed tomography scan performed 5 years after undergoing primary surgery and radiation treatment. He underwent lobectomy, and histopathology revealed esthesioneuroblastoma metastasis. To our knowledge, no case of esthesioneuroblastoma metastasis presenting as a solitary pulmonary nodule has been described in peer-reviewed literature.

Abstract
Esthesioneuroblastoma (ENB) is a rare olfactory malignancy that can present with locally advanced disease. At our institution, patients with ENB in whom the treating surgeon believes that a margin-negative resection is initially not achievable are selected to undergo induction with chemotherapy with or without radiotherapy prior to surgery. In a retrospective review of 61 patient records, we identified six patients (10%) treated with this approach. Five of six patients (83%) went on to definitive surgery. Prior to surgery, three of five patients (60%) had a partial response after induction therapy, whereas two of five (40%) had stable disease. Microscopically margin-negative resection was achieved in four of five (80%) of the patients who went on to surgery, while one patient had negative margins on frozen section but microscopically positive margins on permanent section. Three of five patients (60%) recurred after surgery; two of these patients died with recurrent/metastatic ENB. In summary, induction therapy may facilitate margin-negative resection in locally advanced ENB. Given the apparent sensitivity of ENB to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, future prospective studies should investigate the optimal multidisciplinary approach to improve long-term survival in this rare disease.

Abstract
Esthesioneuroblastoma (ENB) is a rare malignant tumor that commonly develops in the upper nasal cavity. Standard treatment is not established, especially in locally advanced disease which portends the worse prognosis. Hereby, we report a case of a 27-year-old, 23-week pregnant woman, with a 2-month history of progressively growing right cervical lymphadenopathy, nasal obstruction, anosmia, frequent episodes of epistaxis, and right frontal headache. Imagiological evaluation revealed a lesion with 7×5,2×3,2 cm in the nasal fossae with extension to the ethmoidal complex and right olfactive fend and invasion of the endocranial compartment associated with lymphadenopathy. The biopsy revealed a high-grade EBN. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy with cisplatin and etoposide was administrated during pregnancy and continued after delivery up to 6 cycles of treatment with partial response. Radiotherapy followed, with complete response. This case report is intended to highlight that a high grade of suspicion should be kept in the presence of nonspecific symptoms of nasal obstruction, anosmia, facial pain, and/or headache and focus that chemotherapy is an important component of a combined-treatment modality for locally advanced ENB that can be used during pregnancy in a lifesaving situation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The available literature to guide treatment decision making in esthesioneuroblastoma (ENB) is limited. OBJECTIVE To define treatment patterns and outcomes in ENB according to treatment modality using a large national cancer registry. METHODS This study is a retrospective cohort analysis of 931 patients with a diagnosis of ENB who were treated with surgery, radiation therapy, and/or chemotherapy in the United States between the years of 2004 and 2012. Log-rank statistics were used to compare overall survival by primary treatment modality. Logistic regression modeling was used to identify predictors of receipt of postoperative radiotherapy (PORT). Cox proportional hazards modeling was used to determine the survival benefit of PORT. Subgroup analyses identified subgroups that derived the greatest benefit of PORT. RESULTS Primary surgery was the most common treatment modality (90%) and resulted in superior survival compared to radiation (P < .01) or chemotherapy (P < .01). On multivariate analysis, PORT was associated with decreased risk of death (hazard ratio [HR] 0.53, P < .01). PORT showed a survival benefit in Kadish stage C (HR 0.42, P < .01) and D (HR 0.09, P = .01), but not Kadish A (HR 1.17, P = .74) and B (HR 1.37, P = .80). Patients who received chemotherapy derived greater benefit from PORT (HR 0.22, P < .01) compared with those who did not (HR 0.68, P = .13). Predictors of PORT included stage, grade, extent of resection, and chemotherapy use. CONCLUSION Best outcomes were obtained in patients undergoing primary surgery. The benefit of PORT was driven by patients with stages C and D disease, and by those also receiving chemotherapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVEOlfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) is a rare malignant neoplasm of the sinonasal cavity. Surgery has been and remains a mainstay of treatment for patients with this tumor. Open craniofacial resections have been the treatment of choice for many decades. More recently, experience has been growing with endoscopic approaches in the management of patients with ONB. The object of this study is to report the authors’ experience over the past 11 years with ONB patients treated with purely endonasal endoscopic techniques.METHODSThe authors performed a retrospective chart review of 20 consecutive patients with ONB who underwent a completely endonasal endoscopic approach for an oncological tumor resection at their institution between January 2006 and January 2017. Patient demographics, tumor stage, pathological grade, frozen section analysis, permanent margin assessment, perioperative complications, postoperative therapy, length of follow-up, and outcomes at last follow-up were collected and analyzed.RESULTSEighteen patients presented with newly diagnosed disease, with a modified Kadish stage of A in 2 cases, B in 3, C in 11, and D in 2. Two patients presented with recurrent tumors. An average of 25.3 specimens per patient were examined by frozen section analysis. Although analysis of intraoperative frozen section margins was negative in all but 1 case, microscopic foci of tumor were found in 7 cases (35%) on permanent histopathological analysis. Perioperative complications occurred in 7 patients (35%) including 1 patient who developed a cerebrospinal fluid leak; there were no episodes of meningitis. All but 1 patient received postoperative radiotherapy, and 5 patients received postoperative chemotherapy. With a mean follow-up of over 5 years, 19 patients were alive and 1 patient died from an unrelated cause. There were 2 cases of tumor recurrence. The 5-year overall, disease-specific, and recurrence-free survival rates were 92.9%, 100%, and 92.9%, respectively.CONCLUSIONSThe current results provide additional evidence for the continued use of endoscopic procedures in the management of this malignancy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Past research established that surgery plus adjuvant radiotherapy (S + AR) improves overall survival (OS) in esthesioneuroblastoma (ENB). However, it is unknown if the addition of adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) further improves survival. The primary objective of this study was to compare survival among patients treated with S + AR alone to patients who underwent S + AR + AC. METHODS Retrospective review of patient records. RESULTS Thirty-eight patients met inclusion criteria for either S + AR or S + AR + AC treatment groups. The S + AR + AC group contained more patients with Kadish stage D disease, dural invasion, and positive histologic margins postsurgery. All S + AR + AC patients received platinum-based regimens, combined with etoposide in 67%. OS and recurrence-free survival did not differ between the two groups, even when restricting the analysis to patients with Kadish stages B and C disease. CONCLUSION Patients who received platinum-based AC did not exhibit improved survival compared to S + AR alone. Further investigation, preferably prospective, into the optimal use of systemic therapy in ENB is warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Esthesioneuroblastoma (ENB) is a rare neuroendocrine tumor. The purpose of this study was to compare the Kadish, tumor-node-metastasis (TNM), and Dulguerov's modified TNM staging in order to determine the impact of the stage on primary surgical treatment selection, margin status, and survival. METHODS The National Cancer Database (NCDB) was used to identify patients diagnosed with ENB between 2004 to 2015. Patients were excluded based on the ability to properly stage their disease as well as the availability of treatment data. RESULTS Eight-hundred eighty-three patients had sufficient data for analysis. On multivariate analysis, age and government insurance were associated with primary surgical treatment, whereas tumor stage, gender, race, hospital type and volume, and comorbidity score were not. Age, charlson-deyo comorbidity (CDCC) score, hospital volume, and nodal status were found to be predictors of survival. Multivariate-analysis controlling for stage failed to demonstrate clear survival differences between staging in both TNM and Kadish systems. T-stage and the presence of regional nodal metastasis were associated with an increased risk of positive margins on multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION Although primary surgical management and positive margins can be predicted by certain patient and tumor factors, clinical staging systems for ENB poorly predict prognosis over a 10-year horizon.

Abstract
Paranasal sinus and skull base tumors are rare aggressive head and neck cancers, and typically present in the locally advanced stages. As a result, achieving wide surgical resection with clear margins is a challenge for these tumors, and radiotherapy is thus usually indicated as an adjuvant modality following surgery to optimize local control. Given the integral role of radiotherapy in the management of this subgroup of head and neck tumors, the advent of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) has led to substantial improvement of clinical outcomes for these patients. This is primarily driven by the improvement in radiation dosimetry with IMRT compared to conventional two dimensional (2D)- and 3D-techniques, in terms of ensuring dose intensity to the tumor target coupled with minimizing dose exposure to critical organs. Consequently, the evident clinical benefits of IMRT have been in reduction of normal tissue toxicities, ranging from critical neurological symptoms to less debilitating but bothersome symptoms of eye infections and radiation-induced skin changes. Another domain where IMRT has potential clinical utility is in the management of a subset of non-resectable T4 paranasal sinus and skull base tumors. For these inoperable lesions, the steep dose-gradient between tumor and normal tissue is even more advantageous, given the crucial need to maintain dose intensity to the tumor. Innovative strategies in this space also include the use of induction chemotherapy for patient selection. In this review, we summarized the data for the aforementioned topics, including specific discussions on the different histologic subtypes of paranasal sinus and skull base tumors.

Abstract
Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) is a kind of rare and complex head and neck tumor. The reports on this field are very scarce due to the low morbidity. Here, we summarized the clinical features and prognosis of ONB through analysis of 10 cases, and determined the phosphorylation status of some molecules known to be involved in carcinogesis such as Akt, Erk, Stat3 and Stat5 in ONB tissue. Ten ONB patients were recruited in this study, 6 male and 4 female, ranging from 26 to 66 years old. In the 10 cases, 6 were diagnosed as late T stage (T3/T4), 6 were at late Kadish stage (C/D) and 3 were at high Hyams grade (Ⅲ), which indicated a poorer prognosis. Patient characteristics-gender and tumor features were evaluated with respect to the overall survival (OS) through univariate analysis. The result indicated that the OS of male is obviously higher than that of female after a series of combined treatment. The OS of ONB patients in the late stage or high grade is lower than those in early stages or low grade. Moreover, p-Akt, p-Erk, p-Stat3 and p-Stat5 was detected in 5 (50%), 9 (90%), 7 (70%) and 0 patients (0%), respectively, suggesting the former 3 molecules might be potential biomarkers for diagnosis of ONB.

Abstract
Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB), which is a neuroectodermal tumor of the nasal cavity, is a rare and locally aggressive malignancy that may invade the orbit via local destruction. In this study, we report a patient with proptosis, external ophthalmoplegia, and compressive optic neuropathy caused by ONB. A detailed clinical examination including ocular imaging and histopathological studies were performed. The 62-year-old female patient presented to our clinic with complaints of proptosis and visual deterioration in the left eye. Her complaints started 2 months prior to admission. Visual acuity in the left eye was counting fingers from 2 meters. There was relative afferent pupillary defect. She had 6 mm of proptosis and limitation of motility. Fundus examination was normal in the right eye, but there was a hyperemic disc, and increased vascular tortuosity and dilation of the retinal veins in the left eye. Computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and orbits demonstrated a large heterogeneous mass in the left superior nasal cavity with extensions into the ethmoidal sinuses as well as into the left orbit, compressing the medial rectus muscle and optic nerve. Endoscopic biopsy of the lesion was consistent with an ONB (Hyams’ grade III). Orbital invasion may occur in patients with ONB. Therefore, it is important to be aware of this malignancy because some patients present with ophthalmic signs such as external ophthalmoplegia, proptosis, or compressive optic neuropathy.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To provide a comprehensive review of the literature focusing on the recent advances in the diagnosis and management of olfactory neuroblastoma. RECENT FINDINGS Multimodality treatment is usually recommended for the majority of ONB cases. Recent advances in surgical approaches include the evolving role of endonasal endoscopic surgical resection and reconstruction. The introduction of new conformal radiation techniques has improved the outcomes and reduced treatment-related toxicity to important structures such as the eye and the brain. The role of neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy is yet to be defined. In the last two decades, there have been advances in surgical techniques with endoscopic approaches, either alone or in combination with craniotomy, gradually replacing the open traditional approaches. Prolonged surveillance is recommended for ONB due to late recurrences associated with that tumor. The role of chemotherapy and elective neck irradiation is still controversial and needs more studies to investigate their optimal role.

An Uncommon Case of Pediatric Esthesioneuroblastoma Presenting as SIADH: 18F-FDG PET/CT in Staging and Post-Therapeutic Assessment. Diagnostics (Basel) 2018; 8:diagnostics8010008. [PMID: 29342907 PMCID: PMC5871991 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics8010008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2018] [Revised: 01/09/2018] [Accepted: 01/10/2018] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Esthesioneuroblastoma (ENB) is an uncommon neuroendocrine tumor originating from the olfactory neuroepithelium and accounts for 3–6% of all intranasal tumors [1]. ENBs can be locally aggressive and cause invasion and destruction of surrounding structures. Histological grading and clinical stage at presentation are highly predictive of survival and especially presence of lymph node and distant metastases are determining prognostic factors [2,3,4,5]. Thus, reliable imaging is essential in these patients. Conventional imaging modalities for staging ENB are magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT). However, fluorine-18 fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose positron emission tomography/CT (18F-FDG PET/CT) has been reported as a valuable adjunct and was found to upstage 36% of ENB patients compared to conventional imaging [6]. We present a case demonstrating the diagnostic work-up and follow-up with 18F-FDG PET/CT in a young patient with ENB with a highly atypical clinical presentation.

Abstract
Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) is a rare, locally aggressive, malignant neoplasm originating in the olfactory epithelium in the nasal vault. The recurrence rate of ONB remains high and there are no specific treatment guidelines for recurrent/metastatic ONBs. This study retrospectively evaluated 23 ONB samples profiled at Caris Life Sciences (Phoenix, Arizona) using DNA sequencing (Sanger/NGS [Illumina], n = 15) and gene fusions (Archer FusionPlex, n = 6), whole genome RNA microarray (HumanHT-12 v4 beadChip, Illumina, n = 4), gene copy number assays (chromogenic and fluorescent in situ hybridization), and immunohistochemistry. Mutations were detected in 63% ONBs including TP53, CTNNB1, EGFR, APC, cKIT, cMET, PDGFRA, CDH1, FH, and SMAD4 genes. Twenty-one genes were over-expressed and 19 genes under-expressed by microarray assay. Some of the upregulated genes included CD24, SCG2, and IGFBP-2. None of the cases harbored copy number variations of EGFR, HER2 and cMET genes, and no gene fusions were identified. Multiple protein biomarkers of potential response or resistance to classic chemotherapy drugs were identified, such as low ERCC1 [cisplatin sensitivity in 10/12], high TOPO1 [irinotecan sensitivity in 12/19], high TUBB3 [vincristine resistance in 13/14], and high MRP1 [multidrug resistance in 6/6 cases]. None of the cases (0/10) were positive for PD-L1 in tumor cells. Overexpression of pNTRK was observed in 67% (4/6) of the cases without underlying genetic alterations. Molecular alterations detected in our study (e.g., Wnt and cKIT/PDGFRA pathways) are potentially treatable using novel therapeutic approaches. Identified protein biomarkers of response or resistance to classic chemotherapy could be useful in optimizing existing chemotherapy treatment(s) in ONBs.

Abstract
Olfactory neuroblastoma (ON) is a rare tumour of the olfactory neuroepithelium that is characterized by a pattern of slow growth and local recurrences. Combination of surgery and radiotherapy, with or without chemotherapy, is considered to be the standard of care for primary site disease. Recent literature supports the view that endoscopic resection followed by adjuvant radiotherapy correlates with better outcome. In this short communication, we present a case report of olfactory neuroblastoma arising in the right nasal sinus in a 34-year-old male. This patient was treated with endoscopic resection and external beam radiotherapy to the right nasal sinus with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) technique. After 2 years follow-up, the patient is free of tumour without any late effect related to therapies. We believe that, in such patients, a treatment strategy including endoscopic resection followed by adjuvant radiotherapy may be effective and feasible and should be considered the gold standard of care.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) is a rare entity that constitutes less than 5% of nasosinusal malignancies. Mainstream treatment consists in surgical resection+/-adjuvant radiotherapy. By exposing results observed with apparition of new therapeutic options as neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the objective is to evaluate a series and a review of the current literature. METHODS A retrospective review was conducted including patients diagnosed and followed-up for ONB from 2008 to 2015 in our institution. RESULTS 9 patients were included. Mean follow-up of 52.5 months (range 10-107). Kadish stage: A, 1 patient (11.1%) treated with endoscopic surgery; B, 2 patients (22.2%) treated with endoscopic surgery (one of them received adjuvant radiotherapy); C, 6 patients (66.7%), 4 patients presented intracranial extension and were treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery and radiotherapy. The other 2 patients presented isolated orbital extension, treated with radical surgery (endoscopic or craniofacial resection) plus radiotherapy. The 5-year disease free and overall survival observed was 88.9%. CONCLUSION Neoadjuvant chemotherapy could be an effective treatment for tumor reduction, improving surgical resection and reducing its complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Advanced-stage olfactory neuroblastoma requires multimodal therapy for optimal outcomes. Debate exists over endoscopic endonasal surgery in this situation. Stage-matched open and endoscopic surgical therapy were compared. METHODS Patients from 6 cancer institutions were assessed. Stratification included dural involvement, Kadish stage, nodal disease, Hyams' grade, approach, and margin status. At follow-up, local control, nodal status, and evidence of distant metastases were recorded with any subsequent therapy. Statistical analyses to identify risk factors for developing recurrence and survival differences were performed. RESULTS One hundred nine patients were assessed (age 49.2 ± 13.0 years; 46% women) representing Kadish A stage (10%), Kadish B stage (25%), and Kadish C stage (65%). The majority of the patients (61.5%) underwent endoscopic resection, 53.5% within Kadish C stage. Within-stage survival analysis favored endoscopic subgroup for Kadish C stage (log-rank P = .017) nonsignificant for Kadish B stage (log-rank P = .39). CONCLUSION Stage-matched survival was better for the endoscopically treated group compared to the open surgery group, with high negative margin resections obtained.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Given the rarity of esthesioneuroblastoma, it is difficult to validate a staging system. The purpose of this study was to investigate the utility of the Kadish staging system in esthesioneuroblastoma using the National Cancer Database (NCDB). METHODS One thousand one hundred sixty-seven patients with esthesioneuroblastoma were identified from the NCDB. RESULTS Five-year survival was 80.0% for Kadish A, 87.7% for Kadish B, 77.0% for Kadish C, and 49.5% for Kadish D. Kadish B had higher survival than Kadish A. More Kadish B patients received surgery with adjuvant therapy than Kadish A patients (41.6% vs 32.5%; P = .0038) and also had more positive margins (21.6% vs 11.3%; P = .03). There was no difference in age distribution, sex, race, or neck dissection status between the 2 groups. CONCLUSION Kadish B had greater survival than Kadish A, but the treatment characteristics could not account for this difference. The utility of early-stage Kadish staging is uncertain and requires further study.

Abstract
Background: Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) is a rare malignant neuroectodermal tumor of the nasal cavity. Mixed olfactory neuroblastoma which contains areas of divergent differentiation is even rare. Till date, only 4 cases of mixed olfactory neuroblastomas have been reported. Case Description: We report the case of a 46-year-old male who presented with the chief complaints of nasal bleeding and nasal obstruction since 4 months. Radiological imaging was suggestive of a large heterogeneous mass in the left superior nasal cavity with extensions into bilateral maxillary, ethmoidal, and sphenoidal sinuses, as well as into the anterior cranial fossa. Bifrontal osteoplastic craniotomy and excision of the intracranial part of the tumor from above and transnasal endoscopic removal of the mass in the nasal cavities and paranasal sinuses from below was done. Postoperative radiological imaging was suggestive of gross complete excision of the mass. Histopathological diagnosis was “mixed olfactory neuroblastoma-carcinoma (squamous and glandular differentiation) Hyams grade IV.” On immunohistochemistry, the tumor cells were positive for neuron specific enolase (NSE), synaptophysin, chromogranin, and CD56 and peripherally for S100. Because of personal reasons, the patient did not take adjuvant radiotherapy. He presented again after 2 months with a full blown recurrence of esthesioneuroblastoma with similar extensions as before. The patient is now planned for salvage surgery followed by adjuvant chemoradiation. Conclusion: We report the 5th case in the world of mixed olfactory neuroblastoma-carcinoma with squamous and glandular differentiation. From an analysis of the findings in the 5 reported cases of mixed olfactory neuroblastomas, one might infer that a separate subcategory of ONB, i.e., mixed ONB, should be considered because mixed ONBs have an aggressive behavior, high rates of recurrence, and these tumors should be treated aggressively by multimodality treatment.

Olfactory Neuroblastoma with Divergent Differentiation: An Unusual Histologic Finding in a Rare Tumor. Head Neck Pathol 2017; 11:531-536.

Abstract
Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) is a rare malignant neoplasm of the sinonasal tract that arises from olfactory epithelium. There have been reports, mainly in tumors treated with chemoradiation or with distant metastases, describing focal histologic changes of divergent cell populations within archetypal ONB. Only three cases have been reported of ONB coexisting with non-neuroendocrine tumors. We describe our experience with a 35-year-old male with a nasal cavity mass extending into the anterior cranial fossa. Pathology revealed this to be a high grade malignant neoplasm with features of olfactory neuroblastoma and a significant divergent population of pancytokeratin and epithelial membrane antigen-reactive cells. The patient underwent combined endoscopic and open craniofacial resection followed by adjuvant chemoradiation. We describe the clinical presentation, treatment, and outcome followed by a review of the literature. Surgical pathology clearly demonstrated two cell populations evenly distributed and displaying classic histologic and immunohistochemical markers of ONB, as well as poorly differentiated cells with an epithelial immunophenotype. The patient is now 16 months status post completion of treatment with no evidence of recurrence. Our patient's presentation is unique and unusual in that the tumor demonstrated a high grade olfactory neuroblastoma and a divergent, epithelial-marker reactive cell population in the same tumor. This combined appearance is unusual and may represent an "olfactory carcinoma". Only one previous case has reported carcinomatous involvement of an ONB. There is insufficient information in the literature to draw conclusions on the impact these divergent cell populations have on prognosis or treatment.

Abstract
Objectives Sinonasal cancers with neuroendocrine features share similar clinical, radiological, and histopathological features; however, these tumors often exhibit varying degrees of aggressive behavior presenting significant treatment challenges. The objective of this study was to report our experience with these rare malignancies and to present a review of current literature. Methods Following institutional review board approval, the records of all patients with biopsy-proven sinonasal malignancies over a 5-year period were reviewed. Results The study included 14 patients with olfactory neuroblastomas (ONBs), 7 patients with sinonasal undifferentiated carcinomas (SNUC), and 2 patients with sinonasal neuroendocrine carcinomas (SNEC). Histopathologic markers aided in final diagnosis, but showed variable specificity. In patients with sufficient follow-up, the 2-year disease-free survival rate was 81% (9/11) for ONB and 75% (3/4) for SNUC. Three patients developed a regional or distant recurrence (two with ONBs and one with SNUC). Two patients, one with SNEC and one with ONB, succumbed to brain radionecrosis related to proton radiation therapy. Conclusions Overlapping clinical and histopathological features in poorly differentiated sinonasal cancers with neuroendocrine features continue to present a diagnostic challenge. Individualized assessment and treatment strategies can improve the accuracy of the initial assessment and the treatment outcomes.

J Craniomaxillofac Surg 2016; 45:120-126. [PMID: 27840119 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcms.2016.10.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2016] [Revised: 08/31/2016] [Accepted: 10/10/2016] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to re-assess the outcomes of different surgical methods for esthesioneuroblastoma (ENB) in a single institution, with emphasis on changes in surgical treatment with regard to endoscopic approaches in patients with ENB. SUBJECTS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the data of 35 patients with ENB treated over the last 31 years. RESULTS The 5-year overall and disease-free survival rates were 66.8% and 50.8%, respectively. Disease-free survival in the endoscopic surgery group was significantly higher compared to that of craniofacial surgery group (P = 0.035). In the endoscopic surgery group, nine of 10 patients did not exhibit local failure or regional recurrence over a mean followup period of 64.3 months, which was longer than the mean time to recurrence (22.0 months) observed in this study. CONCLUSION Given its significant survival outcomes and high rate of local control, endoscopic surgery could be preferred as a minimally invasive treatment with potentially low morbidity and possible oncological validity for the treatment of ENB.
