Abstract:
Paraganglioma of the head and neck region are rare tumors that occur both sporadically and as a hereditary predisposition. They may represent a systemic disease and should be treated within an interdisciplinary team. Low- and high-risk patients can be identified based on internal medicine, radiology, and genetics perspectives. Clinical challenges consist of a risk of metastasis, multilocular appearance, and recurrences. Some hereditary paragangliomas occur with a predisposition for other tumor entities. This article is aimed at summarizing the relevant aspects of carotid paraganglioma and at providing a practicable algorithm for diagnostics, therapy, and follow-up.
