摘要

Carotid body tumors (CBT) are rare, infrequently malignant vascular neoplasms that are near the carotid bifurcation. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice, but individual surgeons or an institution cannot accumulate sufficient expertise to evaluate their outcomes with confidence. Our purpose was to report outcomes of surgical procedures for CBT from a nationwide dataset.
