Abstrakt: In the sinonasal tract, two tumor types are defined by neuroectodermal differentiation. Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB), the traditional member of this category, is a keratin-negative neuroectodermal neoplasm that has lobulated architecture and variable neurofibrillary matrix. Olfactory carcinoma (OC), a newly-recognized diagnosis in the sinonasal tract, has keratin-positive neuroectodermal elements frequently intermixed with well-formed glands. These two neuroectodermal entities can show substantial overlap with other sinonasal small round blue cell tumors that express neuroendocrine markers. This review provides a practical overview of the key clinical and diagnostic features of ONB and OC and their differential diagnosis.
