【 摘 要 】

Olfactory neuroblastoma, also known as esthesioneuroblastoma, is a rare malignant head and neck tumor. Olfactory neuroblastoma accounts for approximately 3–5% of all malignant nasal tumors. We present a case of olfactory neuroblastoma in a 61-year-old man who underwent endoscopic surgery followed by postoperative irradiation. Right neck metastasis was diagnosed about 6 months after endoscopic surgery. Supraomohyoid dissection of the right side of the neck was performed, but right parotid metastasis was identified about 3 months later. Boost radiotherapy was applied to the right metastatic parotid. There was no evidence of recurrence on head and neck magnetic resonance imaging and endoscopic examination during the 2-year follow-up.
