Olfactory neuroblastoma with rhabdomyoblasts: A rare case report and review of the literature

Abstract

Herein we present a case of a 62-year-old male patient who was admitted with the chief complaints of nasal obstruction. The histopathological and immunohistochemical evaluation led to a diagnosis of olfactory neuroblastoma with rhabdomyoblasts. A review of the literature revealed that this is only the fourth case of olfactory neuroblastoma with rhabdomyoblasts. Thus, investigation of more cases and longer follow-up is necessary to understand the disease and identify the best treatment to improve prognosis.

Keywords: Immunohistochemistry; olfactory neuroblastoma; rhabdomyoblasts.
