pubmed-article:2779776 | pubmed:abstractText | Esthesioneuroblastomas are uncommon neoplasms of the superior nasal cavity originating from olfactory epithelium. High resolution CT features of this neoplasm have not been well studied. Nine cases of esthesioneuroblastoma were reviewed to evaluate findings on high resolution CT. Homogeneous soft tissue masses with relatively uniform enhancement centered in the superior nasal cavity are characteristic. Bony erosion is frequent and usually accompanied by molding of bone. Staging, determined by extension and critical for treatment decisions, is well evaluated by CT. | lld:pubmed |
