Of 3,837 canine neoplasms from case records at Kansas State University, only 4 were of carotid body tumors. Information on these 4 cases, added to that on 18 cases already reported, indicated that such tumors are found most frequently in old dogs, principally in brachycephalic breeds. Although predisposition toward the male sex has been suggested for tumors of the chemoreceptor system, none was observed for carotid body tumors. Multicentricity apparently is not uncommon for chemoreceptor tumors; 9 of the 22 dogs simultaneously had aortic body tumor.
在堪萨斯州立大学病例记录中的3837例犬类肿瘤中，只有4例是颈动脉体瘤。这4例病例的信息，加上已报道的18例病例的信息，表明此类肿瘤最常发生于老龄犬，主要见于短头品种。尽管有人提出化学感受器系统肿瘤易发生于雄性，但颈动脉体瘤未见此倾向。化学感受器肿瘤多中心发生显然并不罕见；22只犬中有9只同时患有主动脉体瘤。
