3D contrast-enhanced ultrasound of carotid body tumor: A promising tool?
3D kontrastmittelverstärkter Ultraschall (CEUS) eines Glomus Caroticum-Tumors: Ein vielversprechendes Tool?Autor*innen
Introduction
In the head and neck region, paraganglionic tissue is located in close proximity to vascular structures, as summarized in a recent review by Valero et al. 2022. (Valero et al. J oral Pathol Med. 2022;51(10):897–903). These paravascular tissues can develop into neuroendocrine tumours, most notably at the carotid bifurcation tumour. (i.e. carotid body tumours, CBT). The Shamblin classification (grades I–III) describes the tumour’s relationship to adjacent vascular and neural structures. (Berger et al. Pol Przegl Chir. 2020;92(6):39–44). Differential diagnoses include aneurysms, cervical lymphadenopathy, Schwannomas, and accessory thyroid glands.
