“…Carotid body paragangliomas are usually limited to the adventitia of the carotid artery, so a meticulous blunt dissection in a subadventitial plane has been the preferred surgical approach, as described by Gordon-Taylor in 1940. 6 Postoperatively, complications were considered major if they caused prolonged hospitalization, defined as more than 3 days of hospital stay, or there was a need for intensive care unit support. Patients were followed up in the institution.…”

“…The most widely-used technique is subadventitial dissection of the tumor (Gordon-Taylor). 17,18,21 Resection en bloc is only employed in cases in which it is not feasible to separate the tumor from the artery, and should be followed by interposition of a graft to the internal carotid. 17 In 1984, Pantanowitz et al conducted a comparison between size of tumor and Shamblin grades, finding that tumors up to 6 cm in size corresponded to Shamblin grades 1 and 2 and those larger than 6 corresponded to group 3.…”

A carotid body tumor is a rare neoplasm, generally benign, that predominantly affects people between their fourth and fifth decades of life. It manifests as a pulsatile and generally painless cervical mass with firm consistency, located below the angle of the jaw. It can progress to the extent that it causes localized pain, dysphagia, hiccups, hoarseness and hypersensitive carotid body syndrome. This article reports the cases of two female patients diagnosed with this tumor who were treated surgically. The first was treated with block resection of the tumor, while the second patient, who had an early stage tumor, was treated with subadventitial resection of the lesion.Keywords: carotid body tumor; paraganglioma; carotid glomus tumor. ResumoO tumor de corpo carotídeo é uma neoplasia rara, geralmente benigna, que acomete, sobretudo, indivíduos entre a quarta e a quinta décadas de vida. Manifesta-se pela presença de massa cervical consistente localizada abaixo do ângulo da mandíbula, pulsátil e comumente indolor. Pode evoluir para dor local, disfagia, soluços, rouquidão e síndrome do corpo carotídeo hipersensível. Este artigo relata os casos de duas pacientes diagnosticadas com essa neoplasia e submetidas ao tratamento cirúrgico. A primeira foi submetida a uma ressecção em bloco do tumor, enquanto a

“…Scudder in 1903 demonstrated first successful removal of carotid body paraganglioma later in 1940 Gordon-Taylor described a safe subadvential plane of tumor dissection [39]. Mortality was 50-60 % and 15-30 % of patients suffered stroke before the advent of current vascular surgical techniques as larger tumors invariably needed common carotid artery ligation [18].…”

Paraganglioma is a rare neoplasm arising from carotid body usually benign and constitute 0.5 % of all total body tumors. They constitute 60-70 % of head and neck paraganglioma and resemble other paragangliomas of the body like glomus jugulare, glomus tympanicum, and pheochromocytoma. This is a retrospective analysis of the medical records of carotid body paraganglioma cases. Nine patients operated during the study period and the follow up traced were included in the study. Seven females and 2 males were analysed. Six had tumor on the left side and 3 had on the right side. All the cases surgical excision was done by a tranverse incision as 2 patients had Shamblin I, 5 patients had Shamblin II, and 1 patients Shamblin IIIa. All the Shamblin I had tumor away from the carotids and were easily dissected without vessel damage, a sub adventitial tumor excision was performed in all the 5 cases of Shamblin II, 1 case of Shamblin IIIa was dissected with difficulty without sacrificing or vessel reconstruction. Paraganglioma of the carotid body should be considered as a differential diagnosis for painless lateral neck masses. Larger tumors need a multidisciplinary team of head and neck with vascular surgeons for better results.
