  • Title: Intracranial esthesioneuroblastoma. A light and electron microscopic study.
    Author: Schochet SS, Peters B, O'Neal J, McCormick WF.
    Journal: Acta Neuropathol; 1975; 31(3):181-9. PubMed ID: 1138527.
    Abstract:
    A 31 year-old black woman with unilateral facial dysesthesia was found to have an intracranial parasellar mass that extended into the sphenoid sinus. By light microscopy, the neoplasm appeared as nests of poorly differentiated neuroblasts in a finely fibrillary stroma and was diagnosed as an esthesineuroblastoma. Electron microscopy confirmed the neuroblastic nature of the tumor with demonstration of neurites containing neurofilaments and neurotubules, synapses and dense cored biogenic amine granules in perikarya and processes. This neoplasm was further characterized by the presence of numerous dystrophic axons that were evident only by electron microscopy.
