Abstract
Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) or esthesioneuroblastoma is a rare malignancy of the nose and paranasal sinuses that originates from the upper nasal vault. We report a rare case of ONB in a 27-year-old female patient with a 2-year history of nasal obstruction, sneezing, nasal discharge, and left eye protrusion. The patient was successfully treated with endoscopic sinus surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) with 5-year follow-up duration. Studying ONB cases is of great importance due to its rare occurrence, and the lack of literature regarding its management often creates a dilemma leading to nonstandardized treatment methods. Prolonged surveillance is essential due to its late recurrence and endoscopic resection followed by adjuvant RT, which may be a feasible and effective treatment. There is no single case of ONB published yet in Saudi Arabia, and to our knowledge, this is the first case report.

[PMID: 33347619 DOI: 10.1002/lary.29228] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2020] [Revised: 10/17/2020] [Accepted: 10/21/2020] [Indexed: 01/16/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Esthesioneuroblastoma (ENB) is a rare sinonasal malignancy with little known regarding how regional and socioeconomic differences in the United States alter disease survival. The aim of this study is to explore the geographic difference in clinical features, socioeconomic factors, and survival outcomes of ENB patients. METHODS ENB cases were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results registry from 1975-2016. Patient data were stratified based on geographical location and comparative analyses of socioeconomic features, disease characteristics, and survival patterns were performed. Kaplan-Meier regression analyses were used to estimate disease-specific survival (DSS). RESULTS A total of 987 patients were identified: 56.4% West, 14.0% South, 12.7% Midwest, and 16.6% East. The West had the highest proportion of patients with Medicaid coverage (P < .001), stage A malignancy (P < .001), and treated with surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy (P < .001). The South had the highest proportion of patients who were Black (P < .001), uninsured (P < .001), and resided in rural areas (P < .001). Five-year DSS patterns were 81.0% (West), 79.8% (East), 67.4% (Midwest), and 72.7% (South) [P = .018]. Ten-year DSS outcomes were 74.0% (West), 73.7% (East), 60.9% (Midwest), and 63.6% (South) [P = .017]. CONCLUSION In ENB patients, survival disparity exists in the United States based on geographical region. Patients from the West and East exhibit higher survival than those from the South and Midwest.
