Abstract:
The carotid body tumors are semimalignant tumors. According to our results, the best diagnostic procedure is a combination of Doppler color flow imaging ultrasound, computed tomography and selective angiography. In our opinion, the treatment of choice is radical resection of the tumor with the carotid bifurcation, especially to reduce recurrence of the tumor. Considering the problems in recurrent tumors, consequent monitoring of the patients is necessary.
