Abstract

Esthesioneuroblastomas (ENBs) present unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to their rare and complex clinical presentation. In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have emerged as promising tools in various medical specialties, revolutionizing diagnostic accuracy, treatment planning, and patient outcomes. However, their application in ENBs remains relatively unexplored. This comprehensive literature review aims to evaluate the current state of AI and ML technologies in ENB diagnosis, radiological and histopathological imaging, and treatment planning. By synthesizing existing evidence and identifying gaps in knowledge, this review aims to showcase the potential benefits, limitations, and future directions of integrating AI and ML into the multidisciplinary management of ENBs.
