Carotid body tumour (CBT) is a rare hypervascular tumor in the head and neck region. It develops from neural crest origin paraganglionic tissue which is an arterial chemoreceptor. It presents as a slow growing mass at the carotid bifurcation. Its optimal evaluation and treatment requires involvement of multiple specialities. Because of the high rate of neurovascular complications, resection of this tumor is challenging for surgeons. Early tumor detection, meticulous evaluation and multidisciplinary approach are vital for successful management of these tumors. A case of CBT in a 50 year-old lady managed at our centre is being reported here along with a review of literature.
颈动脉体瘤（CBT）是头颈部一种罕见的高血管性肿瘤。它起源于神经嵴来源的副神经节组织，该组织是一种动脉化学感受器。它表现为颈动脉分叉处缓慢生长的肿块。其最佳评估和治疗需要多个专科的参与。由于神经血管并发症发生率高，该肿瘤的切除对外科医生来说具有挑战性。早期肿瘤检测、细致评估和多学科方法对于这些肿瘤的成功管理至关重要。本文报告了在我们中心治疗的一名50岁女性的颈动脉体瘤病例，并对相关文献进行了综述。
