Özet

Carotid body tumors usually occur as painless mass in the neck and are quite vascular and slow-growing tumors. Diagnosis is based onDoppler ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance and angiography. Treatment is surgical resection. Cranial nerve damage,vascular injury and bleeding are the most common surgical complications. Selective tumor embolization can be performed preoperatively toreduce tumor vascularity and blood loss during resection. Herein, we report two adult cases presenting with unilateral asymptomatic massesin the neck who were diagnosed with a carotid body tumor and were treated surgically following selective embolization.
