    This study of 24 carotid body tumors highlights the importance of early diagnosis and surgical removal. Prompt intervention in carotid body tumors can prevent complications and improve patient outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Head and Neck Surgery

    Background:

    • Carotid body tumors are rare neoplasms.
    • These tumors can cause significant morbidity due to local compression or invasion.
    • Previous surgical attempts may complicate definitive management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the institutional experience with carotid body tumors over two decades.
    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of surgical management.
    • To emphasize the importance of timely diagnosis and intervention.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 24 consecutive carotid body tumor cases.
    • Analysis of patient demographics, symptoms, tumor characteristics, and treatment outcomes.
    • Carotid angiography and intraoperative monitoring (intraluminal shunting) were utilized.

    Main Results:

    • Twelve patients presented with symptoms of compression or invasion.
    • Two tumors were malignant, and three patients had bilateral lesions.
    • The overall postoperative mortality rate was 4% (one death).
    • Internal carotid artery flow was preserved in all cases.
    • No cerebral damage occurred with the use of intraluminal shunting.

    Conclusions:

    • Accurate preoperative diagnosis via carotid angiography is crucial.
    • Routine surgical excision upon diagnosis is recommended to prevent tumor growth and complications.
    • Surgical management of carotid body tumors can be performed with acceptable morbidity and mortality.
