Abstract
Carotid paraganglioma (CP) is a relatively rare neoplasm, most commonly located in the head and neck. It is a slow-growing tumor and there has been some debate on the optimal techniques of excision. We report herein the case of a 35-year-old woman who presented with an asymptomatic mass in the right side of the neck. The diagnosis of CP was confirmed by computed tomography and carotid angiography. This tumor was successfully removed surgically without complication. Throughout the description of this case, we analyze the clinical, radiological, pathological and therapeutic particularities of this entity.
