Carotid sheath tumor--a diagnostic challenge
Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, and Oral Pathology
|June 1, 1982
Abstract:
The tumor within the carotid sheath described in this article is unusual in that its clinical presentation mimicked a deep-lobe parotid tumor. Despite extensive investigation with conventional sialography, technetium pertechnetate scintigraphy, and computerized axial tomography, the correct preoperative diagnosis was not established. The value of CAT scanning in the diagnosis of parapharyngeal tumors is demonstrated.
