Olfactory neuroblastoma, also known as esthesioneuroblastoma, is a rare aggressive tumour of the head and neck.

Neuroblastoma is dealt with in the neuroblastoma article.

General

Epidemiology:[1]

  • Prognosis: poor.
  • Wide age range with bimodal distribution - teens and 60s.
  • No sex predilection.

Clinical presentation:[1]

  • Nasal obstruction ~ 70%.
  • Epistaxis ~ 50%.
  • Anosmia.
  • Headache.

Gross

  • Arises from olfactory mucosa - upper nasal cavity.[2]

Microscopic

Features:[1]

  • Small round (blue) cell tumour with:
    • Stippled chromatin.
    • High NC ratio.
  • +/-Flexner-Wintersteiner rosette - rosette with empty centre (donut hole).
  • +/-Fibrillary, eosinophilic material (neuropil-like).[2]

IHC

  • S-100:
    • Sustentacular cells +ve.
    • Small round cells -ve.
  • Neuroendocrine markers +ve (CD56, synaptophysin).
    • lower expression of neuroendocrine markers in IDH2 mutant tumors.

Others:

  • CD45 -ve (r/o lymphoma).
  • AE1/AE3 usu. -ve (r/o carcinoma).
  • CAM5.2 usu. -ve -- up to 35% +ve.[2]
    • Higher expression of cytokeratins in IDH2 mutant tumors.

Molecular

  • Two major subgroups.[4][5]
    • Classical ("neural").
    • Basal: G-CIMP+ve with frequent IDH2 R172 mutations.
