Esthesioneuroblastoma (es-THEE-zee-o-NOO-row-blas-TOE-muh) is a rare type of cancer that begins in the part of the brain that interprets smell (olfactory bulb). Esthesioneuroblastoma is also called olfactory neuroblastoma. <\/p>\n
Esthesioneuroblastoma, which can occur at any age, often causes a tumor to form behind the nose that may affect the sinuses. People with esthesioneuroblastoma may lose the sense of smell, have frequent nosebleeds and experience difficulty breathing through their nostrils. <\/p>\n
Esthesioneuroblastoma treatments include surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.<\/p>\n
