Overview

On head and neck CT, esthesioneuroblastoma is characterized by soft tissue attenuation, with relatively homogenous enhancement.[1]

CT

CT is particularly useful in assessing bony destruction, although it cannot distinguish olfactory neuroblastomas from other tumors that arise in the same region. The mass is of soft tissue attenuation, with relatively homogeneous enhancement. Focal calcification are occasionally present. These tumors are relatively slow growing and thus, the bony margins are often remodeled and resorbed, rather than being aggressively destroyed.[1]
