Resumen
GUTIERREZ BAYARD, L.; SALAS BUZON, C. y ROMAN RODRIGUEZ, P.. Estesioneuroblastoma: Revisión de la literatura a propósito de dos casos. Oncología (Barc.) [online]. 2005, vol.28, n.7, pp.51-61. ISSN 0378-4835.
Esthesioneuroblastoma is a malignant tumor constituting 3% of intranasal neoplasias. As a result of its anatomical origin, most patient have non-specific symptoms, precluding early diagnosis. Several factor make difficult the study of the disease: the lack of a uniform staging system, the relatively small number of cases reported in heterogeneous series, and the fact that most series cover a long period during which significant changes in the management of esthesioneuroblastoma occur. We present two cases and analise a bibliographic review about the present situation of this pathology. There are two conclusions fundamentally: the combination of surgery with craniofacial resection and radiotherapy seems to be the optimum approach to treatment, and the need of a long-term follow-up.
