Article Synopsis
- The study explored the relationships between histopathological features of carotid body tumors and variables like age, gender, tumor size, and Shamblin classification, as well as factors affecting surgical outcomes such as embolization status and neurological complications.
- Analyzing 46 past cases, the research recorded an average tumor size of 3.55 cm, a hospital discharge time of approximately 4 days, and noted that 13% experienced neurological complications, with significant correlations found between tumor size and complications.
- The findings indicate that larger tumor diameters make surgery more challenging and increase complication rates, suggesting that careful tumor removal techniques could help prevent recurrence.

Introduction: Tympanojugular paragangliomas (TJ PGLs) are rare tumors characterized by bone infiltration and erosion and a close relationship with critical structures, such as cranial nerves and internal carotid artery. For these reasons, their management represents a tough challenge. Since the fifties, radio-therapy (RT) has been proposed as an alternative treatment aimed at avoiding tumor progression.
