Chemodectoma of the cheek. A case report
The Annals of Otology, Rhinology, and Laryngology
|March 1, 1983
Abstract:
The first case of a chemodectoma of the cheek is presented and the histopathology reviewed. Chemodectomas of the head and neck can be difficult to diagnose, with angiography remaining the single most useful aid to determining both location and diagnosis. Surgery is the treatment of choice, and prognosis depends not only on the extent of the tumor but also its predilection for malignant behavior.
