Dissection Technique

Carotid body tumors are rare neoplasms with malignant potential in 6% to 12.5% of cases, and surgical resection is the only cure. We present the cases of 2 female patients who had expanding, painless, right-sided neck masses; computed tomographic angiograms revealed Shamblin III tumors at the carotid bifurcation. Each patient underwent tumor resection with use of the retrocarotid dissection technique. The tumor specimens were histologically consistent with malignancy, and free margins were achieved. The patients remained free of symptoms, local recurrence, and metastasis 44 and 19 months after their respective procedures. These are the first malignant Shamblin III carotid body tumors that we have resected by means of retrocarotid dissection. In addition to our patients' cases, we discuss carotid body tumors and compare the retrocarotid and standard caudocranial resection techniques.

Rare Tumors

Paragangliomas of the organ of Zuckerkandl are rare tumors with only several case reports noted in the literature. Synchronous paraganglioma occur sporadically, and on occasion, in association with several genetic syndromes. Paraganglioma of the organ of Zuckerkandl with synchronous carotid body paraganglioma is described herein. Traditionally, surgical resection of abdominal paraganglioma involved an exploratory laparotomy. In this manuscript, we describe one of the first reported laparoscopic resections of this tumor and review the literature on multiple paragangliomas and their associated genetic syndromes.

Carotid body tumors (CBT) are rare benign neoplasms of neural crest origin arising from paraganglia cells located at carotid bifurcation. They are usually treated with surgery and occasionally with radiotherapy (RT) as a definitive treatment. We report a case of a carotid body tumor (CBT) in a 45-year old woman who was treated with RT at another institution with intent of diminishing its size and eventually be operated later. This tumor, located on the left side of the neck, appeared 3 years before and was associated with dysphagia and odynophagia. A computed tomography (CT) revealed a lesion of 4.7 cm in size. The patient received 54 Gy of RT. As the tumor persisted clinically, an angio-CT performed one year later showed a left CBT of the same size and a contralateral lesion of 2cm. The surgical resection of this smaller right lesion was performed first and, of the persistent left lesion, one month later. No technical difficulties were found on the resection of the latter tumor and rather decreased peripheral vascularization was present. The histological findings revealed changes due to RT. In an exhaustive review of the literature, there were no findings of any report of surgical resection of a CBT after the primary RT.
