A rare case of nasal esthesioneuroblastoma in a 5-year-old child is described. The tumor involved the maxillary and ethmoid sinuses, destroyed superior compartments of nasal septum and medial wall of left orbit. In spite of the advanced process, there were hardly any clinical manifestations. Radical surgery with tumor excision and electroresection of the upper maxilla was effective. No tumor recurrence was found in a 2-year follow-up.
