A Population‐Based Analysis of Nodal Metastases in Esthesioneuroblastomas of the Sinonasal Tract

Abstract

Esthesioneuroblastoma is an uncommon malignancy of the sinonasal tract arising from the olfactory epithelium. Surgical management of the primary site, often via an endoscopic approach, with or without adjuvant radiation, is often curative. There is growing but ultimately limited data regarding management of the neck and the risk of nodal metastases. In this study, we examine the incidence and patterns of esthesioneuroblastoma‐related cervical nodal metastases using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database.
