| Popis: | A 56-year-old woman presented with progressive apathy, expressive aphasia, urinary incontinence, and a subtle right hemiparesis. She had a recent history of clear rhinorrhea and frequent nosebleeds. CT and MRI scan revealed a large mass in the left nasal cavity extending into the frontal lobe (figure 1). The diagnosis of olfactory neuroblastoma was confirmed by transnasal biopsy (figure 2). A combined treatment of chemotherapy and radiotherapy was suggested. Before treatment could be initiated, the patient died of a major hemorrhage in the tumor. Acknowledgment: The authors thank M.J. Flens for providing the pathology slides and explanation. |
