Olfactory Neuroblastoma: Re-Evaluating the Paradigm of Intracranial Extension and Cyst Formation

The purpose of the current study was to assess the prevalence of cyst formation at the brain-tumor interface in olfactory neuroblastoma. We used the UCLA patient-based Pathology and Radiology Head and Neck Database (UPP&R HAND) to identify the largest patient cohort reported to date with imaging...

description The purpose of the current study was to assess the prevalence of cyst formation at the brain-tumor interface in olfactory neuroblastoma. We used the UCLA patient-based Pathology and Radiology Head and Neck Database (UPP&R HAND) to identify the largest patient cohort reported to date with imaging and pathology data. Eighteen of thirty-one patients (58.1%) had evidence of intracranial extension on MRI, while four (22.0%) demonstrated cyst formation at the brain–tumor interface. The extent of intracranial extension was by far the strongest predictor for intracranial cyst formation, regardless of Hyams tumor grade, using a binary logistics regression model (<i>p</i> = 0.002) and ROC curve analysis (AUC 94.6%). Cyst formation at the brain-tumor interface was an uncommon imaging finding, and tends to occur with a larger component of intracranial tumor extension.
