RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Peputide receptor radionuclide therapy with 177Lu for midgut neuroendocrine metastasis has been clinically approved as a safe treatment. Unresectable metastases of olfactory neuroblastoma have shorter survival due to insufficient effective systemic treatment. CASE REPORT: Herein, we report a patient treated with peputide receptor radionuclide therapy for unresectable recurrent olfactory neusroblastoma following a rare cranial metastasectomy infection. A 50-year-old female patient with olfactory neuroblastoma of Kadish C was initially treated by skull base surgery plus postoperative radiotherapy following chemotherapy. Recurrent disease with neck and intracranial metastases was treated by four salvage surgeries. Surgical site infection following intracranial metastasectomy was treated with debridement and delayed cranioplasty. Peputide receptor radionuclide therapy was performed for unresectable multiple metastases after cranioplasty. Successful therapy using four cycles of peputide receptor radionuclide had neither grade 3 nor grade 4 adverse events. The patient was followed at an outpatient clinic. CONCLUSION: Further case accrual of peputide receptor radionuclide therapy is required to develop a treatment for unresectable olfactory neuroblastoma.
