Esthesioneuroblastoma is a rare form of cancer involving nasal cavity and believed to arise from the olfactory epithelium. It can cause loss of vision, and taste.[1] [2] It is often considered synonymous with "olfactory neuroblastoma",[3] but the tissue of origin is not yet well characterized. Associated with Trisomy 8.
It was first characterized in 1924.[4][5]
Incidence/prevalence
According to the BBC, only 201 (As of a case in 2015 in Katy, Texas) cases of the disease have been recorded worldwide in the past two decades.[6]
A 1997 literature search identified 1,457 cases in the published literature since its discovery in 1924, however 487 were cited in more than one paper, bringing the total of reported cases to 945.[7]
Treatment
Several surgical approaches have been described,[8][9][10][11] but post-excision recurrence rates have remained relatively high.
Notable cases
The disease was brought into prominence by the case of Chantal Sébire, who was suffering from the disease and ended her life after being denied euthanasia.[12]
