A Case of Malignant Tumor of the Carotid Body with Multiple Metastases

A case of malignant carotid body tumor with metastases to the extradural space causing paraplegia is reported in a 29‐year‐old Jamaican woman. In only 2 of the 14 previously reported cases of carotid body tumor with distant metastases was there paraplegia, and both were due to tumor extension from vertebral bone metastases. It is suggested that the tumor in the present case reached the extradural space via direct venous communications with the neck.

A case of a single soft tissue metastases (abdominal wall) occurring 15 years after removal of chemodectoma of the right carotid bifurcation is described. The tumor had apparently been completely removed with excision of portions of the common, external and internal carotid arteries up to the base of the skull. Seven years later osteolytic and osteoblastic lesions were noted in the cervical and thoracic vertebrae which were radiated with 3500 rad. The 19 previously reported cases of chemodectomas with distant metastases are reviewed.
