Updates to Case Attributes
Carotid body are the most common paragangliomas of hedhead and neck. Most of these tumors are benign with a small malignant potential. althought newerAlthough newer non-invasive diagnostic modalities have significantly enhanced the diagnsoticdiagnostic compatibilities, controversy exists over adequate managmentmanagement of these rare tumors.
in younger, healthy patients with no comorbidities, the best therapeutic strategy is a completcomplete excision of the tumor. however, in less than ideal patient population modalities suchasuch as radiation and tumor embolization can be considered.
