Olfactory neuroblastoma staging

Dr Yuranga Weerakkody and Dr Frank Gaillard et al.

Olfactory neuroblastomas (or esthesioneuroblastomas) are most frequently staged using a system proposed by Kadish et al in 1976 ¹.

group A : tumour is limited to the nasal cavity
group B : tumour is limited to the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses
group C : tumour extends beyond the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses
- base of skull
- intracranial compartment
- orbit
- distant metastatic disease

An additional group D has been proposed by Chao et al in 2001 ³.

group D : cervical nodal metastases
