Abstract

Olfactory neuroblastoma is a malignant, slow growing, neurogenic tumor that originates in the olfactory mucosa of the upper nasal cavity. We report a case of olfactory neuroblastoma that presented with exuberant hyperostosis of the facial bone during the course. This unusual radiological finding has been discussed with literature review.
