Carotid Body Tumors

H. Mason Morfit M.D.1

1 Associate Clinical Professor of Surgery, and Director, Bonfils Tumor Clinic, University of Colorado School of Medicine, Denver, Colorado.

Because the patient with a carotid body tumor sooner or later faces serious consequences from either local growth, or in rare instances, distant metastasis, surgical excision is recommended unless the tumor is too large to be removed without interruption of the common or internal carotid artery, provided that the patient is not too old. Since the operation of choice is a careful dissection of the tumor from the carotid artery, such cases should be operated upon only by surgeons who are thoroughly experienced in vascular surgical techniques.
