Objectives: To provide a comprehensive review of the clinical and histopathological features of olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) and other sinonasal neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs), in order to refine diagnostic criteria, analyze treatment outcomes, and identify prognostic factors. Methods: Data from an Italian multi-institutional database were analyzed. Patients were treated surgically via a minimally-invasive endoscopic approach followed by adjuvant radiotherapy or radiochemotherapy. Neoadjuvant cisplatin/etoposide chemotherapy was administered in cases of poorly-differentiated tumors. A centralized pathology review was performed in all cases. Patients were prospectively observed for survival. Overall (OS) and Disease-free survival (DFS) estimates were determined from Kaplan-Meier analysis and compared using the log-rank test. Statistically significant variables were entered in a multivariate Cox regression model. Results: 98 patients with a median follow-up of 53 months were included. Morphology review and the incorporation of cytokeratin 8/18 in the immunohistochemical panel modified the final diagnosis in 8/98 (8.2%) cases. The neoplasms were ultimately classified into four groups with different immunohistochemical profiles and clinical behaviors: ONB in 67 cases (5-year-OS, 91.6%); NEC (poorly-differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma) in 22 cases (5-year-OS, 42.6%); MiNEN (mixed neuroendocrine/non-neuroendocrine neoplasm) in five cases (5-year-OS, 0%, 0/5 cases); and NET (well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor) in four cases (5-year-OS, 50%, 2/4 cases). Hyams grade and Ki67 index were independent prognostic factors for ONB. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy appeared to be associated with improved OS and DFS for NEC, independent of other clinicopathological variables. Conclusions: Induction chemotherapy improves survival outcomes in patients affected by poorly-differentiated tumors. Recent advances in histopathological diagnosis, including CK8/18 staining, allow to plan the most appropriate range of multimodal treatments.
