Overview

The incidence of carotid body tumor is less than 3 in 100,000 individuals. It is the most common paraganglioma of the head and neck and comprises approximately 65% of paragangliomas. The prevalence of head and neck paraganglioma is 3% of all paraganglioma. This tumor is more commonly observed in the adults and particularly in their fifth decade of life. It affects both gender equally.

Incidence

Prevalence

Age

  • Carotid body tumor is more commonly observed in the adults and particularly in their fifth decade of life.[4]
  • In familial cases, the mean age of onset is younger, being the second or fourth decade of life.[5]

Gender

  • There is no gender preference in the incidence of this tumor according to the recent literature except in the high altitude where the tumor is more prevalent among women.[5][6]
