Malignanat Carotid Body Tumour in the Neck of a Newborn Infant

“…Only three cases have been reported: one by Marcuse and Chamberlin (1956), another by Ellis and Winston (1957) and the third by Dallachy and Simpson (1960).

The Vagal Body Tumour: (Chemodectoma of the Glomus Intravagale) With Report of a Case

Dallachy and Simpson (1960) were able to find reports of only 13 cases, while later in the same year Perez et alii (1960) traced a total of 18 vagal body tumours and added 2 of their own. In December, 1962, Johnson et alii (1962) brought the total to 26 (including 2 mentioned briefly in an addendum).…”
