| ABSTRACT |
|
Carotid body tumor is uncommon and has been a source of fear and curiosity to the surgeon for many years. This puzzling tumor attaches itself so intimately to the carotid artery system that its routine removal is often associated with serious consequences. The justification for its extirpation has been debated vigorously. Recently, we have experienced a case of carotid body tumor and obtained good result after total removal. We report our case with a brief review of the articles. |
