Bilateral carotid body paragangliomas.
E606 CMAJ, June 14, 2011, 183(9) © 2011 Canadian Medical Association or its licensors A42-year-old man presented with bilateral, nontender, nonmobile masses in his neck, which had been present for several months. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (Figure 1A) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) (Figure 1B) showed bilateral, intensely enhancing lesions that caused splaying of external and int...
متن کامل[Paragangliomas of the carotid body].
61 Abstract. – Cervical paragangliomas are uncommon benign or malignant neoplasms, originated by stem cells of neural crest. It is not easy nowadays to define properly their biological behaviour, the possible multiple location and the association with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasms. After a wide review about recent diagnostic, pathological and clinical acquisition, authors report their caseload o...
متن کاملCarotid and Vagal Body Paragangliomas
Between 1972 and 2012, 25 patients presenting 32 paragangliomas of the neck were observed. Tumor locations included the carotid body (CBTs) in 21 patients and the vagus nerve in 4. Four patients had bilateral CBT and one a bilateral vagal tumor; a metachronous bilateral jugulare paraganglioma was diagnosed in one patient with bilateral CBT Shamblin type III. Five patients presented CBTs type II...
متن کاملPercutaneous embolization of carotid paragangliomas using solely Onyx.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Paragangliomas are highly vascularized usually benign neoplasms arising from nerve tissue. Endovascular preoperative embolization is used to facilitate surgery but is often not complete, due to tiny feeding arteries not feasible for selective catheterization. Our purpose was to evaluate angiographic and clinical outcome using Onyx for percutaneous glomus tumor embolizatio...
متن کاملNovel hereditary forms of pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas.
Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas are catecholamine-secreting tumors of neural crest origin that arise from the adrenal medulla or extra-adrenal sympathetic paraganglia, respectively. Over the last decade, the extensive genetic heterogeneity of these tumors came to light with the identification of multiple susceptibility genes. These mutations account for at least one-third of pheochromocyto...
