Olfactory Ensheathing Cell Tumor Arising from the Olfactory Mucosa

We report a rare case of olfactory ensheathing cell tumor. A female presented a large soft mass extending medially to the olfactory cleft and laterally to the middle meatus in the left nasal cavity. Imaging studies confirmed a cystic mass extending superiorly into the frontal lobe, indicating that the tumor arouse from the olfactory mucosa. A subtotal resection was achieved through an endoscopi...

Olfactory ensheathing cell tumor.

Olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) are found in the olfactory bulb and olfactory nasal mucosa. They resemble Schwann cells on light and electron microscopy, however, immunohistochemical staining can distinguish between the two. There are less than 30 cases of olfactory groove schwannomas reported in the literature while there is only one reported case of OEC tumor. We report an OEC tumor in a 4...

remyelination of the corpus callosum by olfactory ensheathing cell in an experimental model of multiple sclerosis

multiple sclerosis (ms) causes loss of the myelin sheath, which leads to loss of neurons. regeneration of myelin sheath stimulates axon regeneration and neurons’ survival. in this study, olfactory ensheathing cell (oec) transplantation is investigated to restore myelin sheath in an experimental model of ms in male mice.oecs were isolated from the olfactory mucosa of seven-day-old infant rats an...
