ABSTRACT
Carotid body tumors (paragangliomas) are very rare, highly vascularized and usually benign tumors, originated in the carotid body chemoreceptors. We present the cases of two asymptomatic patients referred for left cervical mass; preoperative study was CT and CT angiography, respectively, which are consistent with carotid body tumors. The tumors were completely removed by subadventitial disection without complications; the biopsy was compatible with paraganglioma. No evidence of recurrence could be found.
RESUMEN
Los tumores de cuerpo carotídeo (paragangliomas) son neoplasias altamente vascularizadas, muy poco frecuentes y generalmente benignas, originadas en los quimiorreceptores del cuerpo carotídeo. Se presentan los casos de dos pacientes derivados por aumento de volumen cervical izquierdo, asintomáticos, con estudio preoperatorio realizado por TAC y angiografía por TAC, respectivamente, que resultan compatibles con tumores de cuerpo carotídeo. Se resuelven quirúrgicamente, mediante disección subadventicial, informando la biopsia paraganglioma. Los tumores fueron completamente removidos, sin evidencia de recurrencia y sin mayores complicaciones.
