“…In addition to detecting small tumors, these studies can be useful in evaluating residual or recurrent tumor and possible metastasis. 17,18 A CBT classification system proposed by Shamblin 19 is extensively used when describing these tumors. Shamblin suggested a surgical classification of CBTs into three groups according to the gross tumor-vessel relationship, the intraoperative findings, and the postoperative specimen examination.…”

Early resection of carotid body tumors should be undertaken while still small to minimize the risk of neural injury, which increases with tumor size. In cases of bilateral CBT, we recommend that the smaller tumor be resected first, before the staged resection of the larger contralateral tumor. In familial or bilateral tumor cases, other synchronous and metachronous paragangliomas should be excluded. Mandatory lifelong follow-up is essential.

“…CNIs are generally not considered serious complications, but they can be extremely disabling to the patient and should not be underestimated (5). CN deficits have been reported to occur in 11-49% of patients after CBT resection (22)(23)(24)(25)(26). The Shamblin classification is predictive of the risk of CNI (27).…”

ObjectiveTo compare the surgical outcomes of carotid body tumor (CBT) with or without pathological fibrosis, and evaluate the associated factors of fibrous CBT (FCBT).Materials and MethodsParaffin-embedded tissues of 236 patients with unilateral CBTs at our center were retrospectively reviewed from January 2008 to May 2020. Based on the pathologic features, CBTs were divided into FCBT and conventional CBT (CCBT) groups. The clinical data and surgical outcomes of the two groups were compared.ResultsOf 236 patients, 53 had FCBT and 183 had CCBT. FCBTs showed higher vascular invasion (24.53%), marked pleomorphism (22.64%), internal carotid artery reconstruction (37.74%), estimated blood loss (559.62 cm3), and postoperative nerve injury (49.06%), with lower 10-year recurrence- (89.2%) and major adverse event-free survival (87.3%) compared to CCBTs. Nerve injury was correlated with the Shamblin grade; major adverse events and nerve injury were both correlated with pathological fibrosis.ConclusionCompared with CCBT, FCBT is prone to increased recurrence, metastasis, major adverse events, and nerve injury risk. Early surgical resection, routine excision of surrounding abnormal lymph nodes, and closer clinical surveillance in FCBT patients are recommended.

Indium In-111 pentetreotide scintigraphy: Application to carotid body tumors

Abstract: Indium In-111 pentetreotide scintigraphy is a new innovative method for viewing neuroendocrine tumors. Its potential lies not only in tumor localization but also in identification of recurrent tumor at the operative site and metastatic disease.
