Abstract
|
|
|
|
Carotid body tumor is a rare lesion of the neuroendocrine system. It typically presents as a slow growing, painless neck mass found along the anterior border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. We present clinicoradiologic findings of a bilateral carotid body tumor from a 35-year-old woman with a review of literatures. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a vascular mass at the carotid bifurcation, displacing the external and internal carotid arteries. After embolization of feeding vessels using polyvinyl alcohol and gelfoam, we excised the mass without severe bleeding and neurologic symptoms.
