Diagnosis and treatment of Shamblin Ⅱ carotid body tumor: a case report and literature review
Carotid body tumor (CBT) is a paraganglioma, which is mainly characterized by painless mass in the neck. Because CBT often wraps around important blood vessels and nerves in the neck, the operation is difficult and risky. This paper reports the diagnosis and treatment of a case of Shamblin Ⅱ CBT, and reviews the literature to discuss the etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and classification, and surgical treatment of CBT, with an aim to provide a basis for standardized diagnosis and treatment of this tumor.
