Abstract

A carotid body tumour (CBT) is rare and most commonly arises from the neural crest tissue. It accounts for less than 0.5% of all neoplasm.¹ It may also originate from the chemoreceptor organs which are found in the adventitia layer of the carotid arteries bifurcations. They often present with asymptomatic neck masses, and precaution should be made in the attempt to excise the tumour as it is closely related to vital structures. We present a case of carotid body paraganglioma, its difficult surgical excision and outcome.
