What's The Definition Of The Medical Condition Paranasal Sinus-Nasal Cavity Esthesioneuroblastoma?
A malignant olfactory neuroblastoma arising from the olfactory epithelium of the superior nasal cavity and cribriform plate. It is uncommon (3% of nasal tumors) and rarely is associated with the production of excess hormones (e.g., SIADH, Cushing Syndrome).
