Carotid Body Tumor: A Radiological Case Study and Literature Analysis

Dr. Vinit Patel, Dr. Lokesha A, Dr. Anju Sharma

Abstract: Carotid bodies are collections of Paraganglia noted at the bifurcation of the common carotid artery on either side of the neck. Neoplasia involving the carotid body even though a rare occurrence is of significant importance due to its high risk of neurovascular complications, and difficulty in surgical resection due to its location. Early tumor detection, meticulous evaluation, and multidisciplinary approach are vital for the successful management of these tumors. Here we report a case of a 32 - year - old male who presented with complaints of painless, pulsatile lateral neck swelling at our institute along with a brief literature review.
