“…This is in accordance with the course of our second patient. In our review we found that most patients were either asymptomatic or had a palpable neck mass with recent increase in size [6,13,[15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

“…Only one has a Shamblin I tumor [7]. Preoperative embolization (PAE) was performed in 4 patients [15,17,20,23], although this modality still remains controversial with varying results. The benefits of PAE focus on the reduction of operative time and blood loss.…”

Paraganglia are clusters of cells originating from the neural crest with histological and cytochemical characteristics of neuroendocrine cells. Paragangliomas of the head and neck represent less than 0.5% of all head and neck tumors and they usually occur between the ages of 40 and 50. Paragangliomas in childhood and in adolescence are extremely rare; only 23 case reports have been reported in the recent literature. In childhood, the estimation of malignant potential is 3–10%; therefore, early diagnosis and treatment of carotid body paragangliomas are mandatory. However, due to the rarity of these lesions in young patients, they are often not included in the differential diagnosis of solid masses in the neck area, a fact that may lead to misdiagnosis or delay in treatment. We present, herein, two extremely rare cases of patients in adolescence who were diagnosed with a carotid body paraganglioma and were treated surgically in our unit. One of the patients was diagnosed and treated at the age of 15 years while the other had a long-standing tumor in the neck that was followed up by a general surgery outpatient service as a branchial cleft cyst at the age of 15 years and was eventually treated surgically 8 years later. Carotid body tumor was not considered in the initial differential diagnosis because of its rarity at this age range.

“…Las imágenes con radionúclidos utilizan un derivado de octreótido marcado con DTPA, el cual se une a los receptores de somatostatina tipo 2 (SR-II) que usualmente se expresan en los paragangliomas. Este estudio de imagen se recomienda cuando existen lesiones multifocales asociadas a síndrome familiares, en el diagnóstico de recidiva tumoral después de la resección quirúrgica o en la búsqueda de metástasis a distancia 18 .…”

El tumor de cuerpo carotídeo es un paraganglioma ubicado en la bifurcación carotídea y se origina de células quimiorreceptoras a nivel de cuello. Si bien su incidencia es baja, corresponde el principal paraganglioma a nivel de cabeza y cuello. Usualmente son benignos, sin embargo, se ha reportado una tasa de malignidad del 5-10%. Frecuentemente se presentan como masas asintomáticas a nivel anterior del músculo esternocleidomastoideo. En ocasiones pueden provocar compresión nerviosa de diversos pares craneales y síntomas de descarga adrenérgica producto de la liberación de catecolaminas. El diagnóstico se realiza por medio de ultrasonido doppler, angiografía por tomografía computarizada o resonancia magnética. El tratamiento de elección es la resección quirúrgica por medio de endarterectomía. Dentro de las complicaciones quirúrgicas más frecuentes se encuentra el evento cerebrovascular y la lesión nerviosa de pares craneales. En esta revisión bibliográfica se aborda la presentación clínica y manejo terapéutico del tumor de cuerpo carotídeo desde una manera integral y actualizada.

“…Exclusion criteria: a) Sporadic form to PGs, as these are the most frequent cases; b) Familiar form to PGs, relatively frequent cases, and related to PGL syndromes (PGL1 to PGL4). Our experience of the sporadic and familiar forms of CPG has recently been reported [14]; c) CPGs detected in infancy or during pregnancy, as there are recent reviews on the matter [15][16][17][18][19]; and d) CPGs associated with another extracranial ipsilateral carotid pathology (stenosis or aneurisms), as a recent review has been conducted by our group [20].…”
