Area of Science:

  • Head and Neck Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Carotid body tumors (paragangliomas) are rare neuroendocrine neoplasms arising from the carotid body.
  • These tumors are often characterized by their hypervascularity and potential for significant morbidity if not managed appropriately.

Observation:

  • A 68-year-old female presented with a right submandibular swelling, diagnosed via incisional biopsy as a carotid body tumor.
  • Carotid angiography demonstrated that the tumor's vascular supply originated exclusively from the external carotid artery.

Findings:

  • Complete surgical excision of the carotid body tumor was achieved.
  • Postoperative follow-up for two years revealed no evidence of tumor recurrence.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the successful surgical management of a rare, highly vascular carotid body tumor.
  • Complete resection, confirmed by angiography and long-term follow-up, is crucial for favorable outcomes in managing these challenging neoplasms.
