Overview

Carotid body tumor must be differentiated from other diseases that cause neck mass including schwannomas and lymphadenopathy.

Differentiating Carotid Body Tumor from Other Diseases

  • Carotid body tumor must be differentiated from other diseases that cause rounded neck mass and limited range of head motion:[1][2]
    • Vagal schwannoma
    • Lymph node mass
    • Metastatic tumors
    • Thyroid lesions
    • Submandibular salivary gland tumours
    • Branchial cleft cysts
