steroids• Initially responds to systemic steroids but then relapses• Can cause proptosis, telecanthus and intracranial extension

malignant

n’blastoma with bony metaplasia

Immunohistochemistry

• Keratin (MNF), EMA, smooth m actin, desmin, melan A, CD34, HMB45, S100, chromogranin, synaptophysin, CD56, ALK all negative.

• Vimentin and NSE positivity

Biopsy• Morphology suggests malignant lesion,

probably sarcoma• ? Dedifferentiation of olfactory neuroblastoma

• Proximity to surgery and the expected biologic behaviour of olfactory neuroblastoma raises possibility of post operative spindle cell lesion/ fibrous pseudotumour…..but no inflammatory cells, no myofibroblasts, necrosis unusual

Material sent to US by courier

… but delayed at Customs in JFK

Second opinions

1: Malignant, probably a sarcoma of neural origin (Prof Dervan)

2. Malignant, possibly unusual melanoma, await immunos (Prof Fletcher)

• Patient recalled

Lesion disappeared!

Final second opinion, Prof Fletcher

• “Atypical spindle cell proliferation, very worrisome for unclassified sarcoma”

• Difficult to accept reactive lesion on morphology, would like to know follow up

? Final diagnosis

• Olfactory neuroblastoma, with very atypical spindle cell pseudotumour

• Patient 1 year post radiotherapy for original findings of residual olfactory neuroblastoma, no recurrence
