Abstract
- Carotid body tumors (CBTs) are rare, hypervascular neuroendocrine neoplasms that can lead to significant complications during surgical resection due to the high risk of bleeding. We present the case of a 64-year-old male with a palpable neck mass on the left side, diagnosed as a CBT through imaging studies. Given the tumor's increasing size and rich vascularization, percutaneous preoperative embolization with Onyx under ultrasound and angiographic guide, was performed to minimize intraoperative complications. Forty-eight hours later, the tumor was surgically resected with minimal blood loss and no injury to cranial nerves or the carotid bifurcation.<br /> (© 2024 The Authors.
