Abstract
Pediatric esthesioneuroblastomas are rare tumors with only about 100 reported cases. Standard surgical treatment is the open craniofacial resection. Pre-treatment imaging is critical for planning, and surgery remains the primary treatment modality followed by adjuvant therapy. We report a 12-year-old female who underwent endoscopic-assisted resection of an extensively calcified Kadish C and Dulguerov–Calcaterra T3N0M0 esthesioneuroblastoma. Following radiation therapy, she is disease-free 18 months post-treatment. Although there are few reported cases in pediatric patients, our case supports the use of endoscopic endonasal approaches for select pediatric skull base malignancies.
