Resumo
Esthesioneuroblastoma is an uncommon tumour of neuroectodermal origin. The authors describe a rare presentation of
an atypical esthesioneuroblastoma invading oral cavity. The clinical presentation, aetiology, diagnosis, and management
of this condition are discussed. The patient developed significant swelling in the right anterosuperior alveolar mucosa
and had moderate tooth mobility. Conventional x-rays and computed tomography revealed a large osteolytic lesion,
with imprecise limits. Histological findings along with immunohistochemical staining results and clinical features led to
the diagnosis of high-grade esthesioneuroblastoma. Local recurrences and neck metastasis were detected. The rare oral
findings produced delayed in diagnosis which may lead to a compromise in planning and execution of further radical
management and thus a poor prognosis.
