Carotid body tumors are rare childhood extra-adrenal paragangliomas. We present an 8-year old female with a neck mass mistaken as reactive lymphadenopathy.

TUMOR OF THE CAROTID BODY

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1934
Tumors of the carotid body are so rare that few surgeons see more than one in a lifetime. In 1929, Bevan and McCarthy1collected and tabulated 134 reported cases. From their series it is strikingly apparent that operative removal of these growths is associated with a very high mortality (33 per cent) and a long list of complications (30 per cent).

Carotid body tumors

Operative Techniques in General Surgery, 2004
ent ischemic pathways caused by anatomic, hemodynamic, and humoral factors. As suggested by Dr Kotsis, other influences such as systemic hypotension, embolization, or reperfusion injury might have an equally deleterious effect. The use of shunts is an interesting concept, but temporary perfusion of the distal colon would have been of dubious value in ...
