ABSTRACT
Olfactory neuroblastoma is a rare tumor of nasal cavity arising from the olfactory neuroepithelium. It is usually presented as a polypoid mass high in the nasal vault including cribriform plate, superior turbinate, and superior portion of nasal septum. Recently, we experienced a case of olfactory neuroblastoma occurred from very atypical location. An 89-year-old man visited our department with symptoms of occasional left nasal bleeding and obstruction. On the endoscopic examination, a polypoid mass with bleeding tendency was observed in the left inferior meatus, but other portions of nasal cavity showed normal appearance. Biopsy was performed and the final pathologic report turned out as olfactory neuroblastoma. We report this unusually presenting case of olfactory neuroblastoma with a review of the literature.
