Carotid body tumors (synonymus che-modectoma, carotis tumor. glomus carotica) are tu-mors arising from chemoreceptor paraganglioma cells. These cells have proved to have an emb-riyologic origin from neural crests. Due to their low incidence these tumors are not habitually found in daily practices. We present a case of carotid body tumor diagnosed by clinical examination and an-giography which was successfully treated by sur-gery. The diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties pre-sent in these tumors are discussed and literature was reviewed.
