Carotid body tumours are a rare class of paraganglionoma arising from the upper neck, but should be considered in the differential diagnosis of neck lumps. A wrong diagnosis of cervical lymphadenopathy followed by excision biopsy may have serious consequences. The only way to minimize such risk is to be aware of their existence.

Twenty‐one patients with 22 carotid body tumours have been managed between 1963 and 1982. All presented with a neck mass and, if the tumour was extensive, pain. The diagnosis was made clinically, by ultrasound (2) and by angiography (16) and confirmed by biopsy in 19 patients. Eighteen resections were performed, without mortality but with a stroke rate

Abstract 1. 1. Removal of tumors of the carotid body is difficult and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. 2. 2. The carotid artery should not be sacrificed unless its ligation is necessitated by uncontrollable hemorrhage. 3. 3. If patience and care are used, most carotid body tumors can be removed without damaging the carotid

The vasculature of the carotid body
Cardiovascular Research, 1983A histological and electron microscopical study was carried out on the vasculature of the carotid bodies in seven subjects coming to necropsy. None of these had suffered from chronic hypoxaemia or systemic hypertension during life and none had hypertrophy of the right or left ventricle.

Hyperplasia of the carotid body
The Journal of Pathology, 1982AbstractThe histopathology of hyperplasia of the carotid bodies was studied in 6 cases of hypoxaemia and right ventricular hypertrophy secondary to pan‐acinar emphysema, and in five cases of systemic hypertension with left ventricular hypertrophy. The features of the hyperplasia were the same in the two groups. There was proliferation of sustentacular (

Immunohistochemistry of the Carotid Body
2018Immunohistochemistry (IHC) enables the detection and distribution of proteins in cells of tissues. IHC has become an indispensable approach for studying oxygen sensing by the carotid body (CB). This chapter provides a detailed description of IHC of CB tissue and isolated CB cells.

Neurotransmitters in the Carotid Body
1994One of the most fundamental physiological stimuli is oxygen, or more appropriately the lack of oxygen, i.e., hypoxia. The discovery that the carotid bodies are the principal sensory organs for monitoring the arterial oxygen opened new perspectives in respiratory physiology. The chemoreceptor organ morphologically resembles a miniaturized brain.
