SURGICAL TREATMENT OF CAROTID BODY TUMORS
Abstract
Os paragangliomas são tumores raros que se desenvolvem a partir do tecido paragangliónico. Na cabeça e pescoço, os seus principais locais de crescimento são o corpo carotídeo localizado na bifurcação da artéria carótida comum, o foramen jugulare, o ouvido médio e a porção cervical do nervo vago. Os autores relatam o caso clínico de uma doente portadora da mutação do gene SDHB com um tumor do corpo carotídeo do tipo II de Shamblin. O tratamento cirúrgico destes tumores é complexo e o seu seguimento deverá ser realizado em centros com experiência.

Title: Surgical Treatment of Carotid Body Tumors
Abstract
Paragangliomas are rare tumors that develop from paraganglionic tissue. In head and neck, its main growth sites are the carotid body located at the bifurcation of the common carotid artery, the foramen jugulare, the middle ear and the cervical portion of the vagus nerve. The authors report the case of a holder of a SDHB gene mutation with a carotid body tumor Shamblin type II. Surgical treatment of these tumors is complex and its follow-up should be performed in centers with experience.
