Introduction: Esthesioneuroblastomas (ENB) or olfactory neuroblastomas are rare tumors derived from the olfactory epithelium. These tumors have a propensity for local invasion into surrounding structures and distant metastasis, most commonly to the neck, lungs, and bones. We present a case of a 12-year-old child with olfactory neuroblastoma with lymph node metastasis with early recurrence. Case Report: It is a 12 year old child, without pathological history who presented an evolving right nasal obstruction for 8 months, permanent, associated with a rhinorrhea and intermittent epistaxis, associated with a mass of the ipsilatéral parotid and the submandibular region. The patient underwent a nasosinnus and cervical scan, a biopsy under general anesthesia, an anatomopathological study with immunohistochemistry which were in favor of esthesioneuroblastoma. Conclusion: ENB is a rare malignant tumor of the nasal cavity. It is characterized by clinical polymorphism and difficulty in histological diagnosis. CT and MRI are one of the therapeutic strategy keys and then to post-treatment monitoring.
