Abstract
Olfactory neuroblastoma is an uncommon intranasal neoplasm that has no t been previously documented to invade the oral cavity. The tumor's va riable clinical manifestations and microscopic features may create a d iagnostic dilemma for the clinician. The neoplasm has been identified as a direct cause of ectopic arginine vasopressin production leading t o inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion. An unusual case of olf actory neuroblastoma invading the oral cavity through the maxillary si nus in a patient with pathologic antidiuretic hormone secretion is rep orted.
