颈动脉体瘤的影像学诊断及研究进展

Imaging Diagnosis and Research Progress of Carotid Body Tumor

摘要: 颈动脉体瘤是罕见的位于颈总动脉分叉处的化学感受器瘤，同时也是一种副神经节瘤。根据2017年世界卫生组织肾上腺肿瘤新分类标准将其定义为转移性肿瘤，包括淋巴结转移及远处转移，故需早期进行手术治疗。颈动脉体瘤毗邻重要血管及神经，且为富血管组织，故手术难度较高。因此完善术前颈动脉体瘤的影像学检查至关重要。本文就颈动脉体瘤影像学诊断及研究进展作一综述。

Abstract: Carotid body tumor is a rare chemoreceptor tumor located at the total carotid artery bifurcation and also a paraganglioma. It is defined as metastatic tumors according to the 2017 WHO new classification standard for adrenal tumors, including lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis, thus requiring early surgical treatment. However, carotid body tumor is adjacent to important blood vessels and nerves, which is vascular-rich tissue, so the operation is difficult. Therefore, improving the imaging examination of preoperative carotid body tumor is crucial. This article reviews the imaging diagnosis and research progress of carotid body tumor.
