A carotid body tumor is a rare neoplasm, generally benign, that predominantly affects people between their fourth and fifth decades of life. It manifests as a pulsatile and generally painless cervical mass with firm consistency, located below the angle of the jaw. It can progress to the extent that it causes localized pain, dysphagia, hiccups, hoarseness and hypersensitive carotid body syndrome. This article reports the cases of two female patients diagnosed with this tumor who were treated surgically. The first was treated with block resection of the tumor, while the second patient, who had an early stage tumor, was treated with subadventitial resection of the lesion.
颈动脉体瘤是一种罕见的肿瘤，通常为良性，主要影响40至50岁之间的人群。它表现为位于下颌角下方、质地坚硬、有搏动且通常无痛的颈部肿块。它可能发展到引起局部疼痛、吞咽困难、打嗝、声音嘶哑和颈动脉体过敏综合征的程度。本文报告了两名经手术治疗的诊断为此种肿瘤的女性患者的病例。第一例采用肿瘤整块切除术治疗，而第二例处于肿瘤早期的患者则采用病变外膜下切除术治疗。
