Recurrent olfactory neuroblastoma treated by radiation, surgery, and chemotherapy: "a case report"

Olfactory neuroblastoma is a rare tumor. The role of CT Scan, morphological details and the electron microscopic findings have been highlighted in the diagnosis of the lesion. The present patient, in which the tumor had recurred following surgical excision, was treated successfully with a combination of radiation, further surgery, and maintenance chemotherapy. We also feel that such a planned multidisciplinary approach is justified as the initial treatment for all advanced lesions in view of high recurrence rates reported following use of radiotherapy or surgery alone.
