Forty patients were treated or followed up for aesthesioneuroblastoma between 1980 and 1995 at Institut Gustave Roussy, France. There were three T1, seven T2, 15 T3 and 15 T4 lesions. The cervical metastatic rate at presentation was 18 per cent. Distant metastases were detected by bone marrow biopsy and bone scan in three patients at presentation. Treatment modalities included surgery alone in eight patients, radiotherapy alone in three patients, combined modality surgery plus radiotherapy in 11 patients, chemotherapy alone in two patients, chemotherapy plus radiotherapy in 10 patients, and multimodality therapy chemotherapy plus surgery plus radiotherapy in six patients. The five-year survival rate was 51 per cent. Multimodality treatment offered better survival (63 per cent at five years) and disease-free interval (54 months). Overall local, regional, and distant failure rates were 58 per cent, 15 per cent and 40 per cent respectively. Distant metastases commonly occurred in bone (82 per cent). Cervical metastasis was an unfavourable prognostic indicator (0 per cent survival at two years). In conclusion, aesthesioneuroblastoma is sensitive to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Multimodality therapy should be used initially.
