Esthesioneuroblastoma is an uncommon nasal neoplasm of neural crest origin, which is recognized for its propensity for local recurrence and distant dissemination by both lymphatic and hematogenous routes. Hematogenous spread occurs most frequently to the lungs and bones, but metastases to the liver, spleen, scalp, face, breast, adrenal, aorta, and ovary have been reported. We present a patient who developed metastatic esthesioneuroblastoma of the trachea 1 year after successful craniofacial resection of his primary tumor. The patient was treated by YAG laser resection of the metastatic tumor followed by radiotherapy. He was free of tracheal disease 1 year after treatment of the metastases.
