Abstract

A carotid body tumour (CBT) is defined as a paraganglioma that involves the chemoreceptors of the carotid body. Computerised tomography is considered one of the most accurate and sensitive imaging modalities to diagnose a CBT. This case report explores a CBT that was diagnosed in a sixty-one-year-old female patient. The patient’s clinical history, radiological findings and management are discussed as well as the epidemiology, aetiology and treatment options.
