Esthesioneuroblastoma is an extremely rare form of cancer involving the nasal cavity. It can cause loss of vision and taste.[1][2][3] It is often considered synonymous with "olfactory neuroblastoma"[4] and is believed to arise from the olfactory epithelium, but the exact tissue of origin is not yet well characterized. It is associated with trisomy 8.[5]

It was first characterized in 1924.[6][7]

Incidence and prevalence

According to the BBC, in 2008 only 201 cases of the disease had been recorded worldwide in the preceding two decades.[8]

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.[9]

Treatment

Several surgical approaches have been described,[10][11][12][13][14] 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.[15]
