ABSTRACT
Olfactory neuroblastoma is a rare neurogenic tumour of olfactory epithelium. We have dealt with seven cases in nine years. It mainly occurs in adolescents or adult age. It is more common in males presenting with nasal obstruction epistaxis, numbness of face. The tumour is deceptive even under microscope and should be carefully recognised. It is radio sensitive but combination of surgery and radiotherapy seem to give better and longer regression of the tumour. Chemotherapy plays a palliative role only
