Carotid body tumors may occur sporadically (90%) or in a familial pattern (10%). One third of the patients with familial disease have bilateral tumors. We report the case of a patient with bilateral carotid body tumors and a strong family history of such tumors. Details of his evaluation and treatment are reviewed. Relatives of patients with carotid body tumors should be examined carefully, and any suspicious neck mass should be appropriately investigated.
颈动脉体瘤可散发出现（90%），也可呈家族性发病（10%）。家族性疾病患者中有三分之一患有双侧肿瘤。我们报告一例患有双侧颈动脉体瘤且有此类肿瘤家族史的患者。现回顾其评估及治疗细节。应对颈动脉体瘤患者的亲属进行仔细检查，任何可疑的颈部肿块都应进行适当检查。
