Carotid body tumors (CBT) are rare chemical receptor tumors. We report nine cases of CBT who were diagnosed at our center during 2004 to 2008 with a literature review. Of these nine patients, eight underwent complete resection, one received palliative resection due to the malignant nature of the tumor, and the other one refused surgery. No perioperative mortality and stroke occurred. During a mean follow up of 2.2 years, no deaths related to CBT occurred. Surgical treatment for CBT is relatively safe. The surgeon should be careful to maintain the integrity of carotid artery, and prevent cerebral ischemia and cranial nerve injuries in order to improve outcome.
颈动脉体瘤（CBT）是一种罕见的化学感受器肿瘤。我们报道了 9 例 2004 年至 2008 年在我中心诊断为 CBT 的患者，并进行了文献复习。这 9 例患者中，8 例患者接受了完整切除术，1 例因肿瘤恶性性质而行姑息性切除术，另 1 例拒绝手术。无围手术期死亡和中风发生。平均随访 2.2 年后，无与 CBT 相关的死亡。CBT 的手术治疗相对安全。外科医生应注意保持颈动脉的完整性，预防脑缺血和颅神经损伤，以改善预后。
