Abstract

Olfactory neuroblastoma is a rare, slow growing, malignant tumour of neuroectodermal origin that begins in neuroepithelial cells of the olfactory membrane. A metastatic rate of 20% to 60% is reported with the most common site being the cervical lymph node. Other sites include the parotid glands, skin, lungs, bone, liver, orbit, spinal cord and spinal canal. We describe a case of olfactory neuroblastoma presented to us with scalp metastasis.
