Intrathoracic chemodectomas are extremely rare tumours, the number, published up to the present time being less than 50. We wish to report here four personal cases, all resected. The diagnosis was never made before surgery but solely by histopathology. The course was benign in two cases and malignant with slow progression in one case and malignant with rapid progression in the other. On the basis of these four cases, a general review is undertaken of this particular site on the basis of publications in the literature.
胸内化学感受器瘤是极为罕见的肿瘤，迄今为止公布的病例数不足50例。我们在此报告4例个人病例，均已切除。术前均未做出诊断，仅通过组织病理学确诊。病程方面，2例为良性，1例为恶性且进展缓慢，另1例为恶性且进展迅速。基于这4例病例，根据文献中的出版物对这个特殊部位进行了全面综述。
