A 7-y-old, intact male Alaskan Malamute was presented with a 3-mo history of stertor and epistaxis. Computed tomography of the skull revealed generalized loss of gas throughout both nasal passages with replacement by a soft tissue mass that traversed the cribriform plate. Histopathology revealed neoplastic neuroblast cells arranged in anastomosing cords, as well as separately located aggregates of ganglion cells. Both neoplastic cell populations demonstrated immunoreactivity to MAP-2, TuJ-1, and synaptophysin. Neuroblastic cells additionally exhibited punctate immunoreactivity to MCK and CK8/18. We document here both the positive neural immunohistochemical markers for this neoplasm, as well as propose possible histomorphologic variants.

In the present study, histopathological and immunohistochemical findings of olfactory ganglioneuroblastoma in a dog were compared to those of canine olfactory neuroepithelia and neuroblastomas. Olfactory ganglioneuroblastoma consists of ganglion cell-like tumor cells with Schwannian stroma and neuroblast-like tumor cells. Immunohistochemically, ganglion cell-like tumor cells were immunopositive for synaptophysin, β3-tubulin, and tyrosine hydroxylase, Schwannian stroma was immunopositive for GFAP and SOX2, and neuroblast-like tumor cells were immunopositive for OLIG2, β3-tubulin, SOX2, cytokeratin AE1/AE3, and p63.

Objective: To examine pediatric neuroblastoma survival and management in the head and neck compared to other body sites.
Study Design: Retrospective analysis of a large population database.
Methods: Patients in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database with neuroblastoma, NOS; ganglioneuroblastoma; or olfactory neuroblastoma diagnosed from birth to 18 years between 1973 and 2014 were included.
Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) is a rare malignant neuroectodermal tumour, with clearly defined histologic and immunohistochemical features, that typically arises in the superior nasal cavity. Although the classical clinicopathological features leave little room for misinterpretation, the wide variability in this tumour, including occasional divergent differentiation, may cause diagnostic difficulty. Herein, an unusual case of ONB with focal ganglioneuroblastic differentiation in an 81-year-old woman arising from the anterior ethmoid, filling the upper portion of the left nasal cavity and sparing the sinus cavities, is described.

Ganglioneuroblastic transformation in olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) is an exceptionally rare phenomenon. We document the case of a patient with a poorly differentiated sinonasal malignancy that recurred following treatment with chemoradiotherapy and showed ganglioneuroblastic transformation. Although the index tumour showed neuroendocrine differentiation, it did not have the typical clinico-pathological features associated with ONB.
