The researchers, who conducted the study of rats, said that despite its small size the
carotid body has the highest blood flow of any organ in the body.
Carotid body tumors (CBTs), also known as paragangliomas, are among the tumors of neuroectodermal origin.
1) overall morbidity in surgical management of
carotid body tumor is approximately 3.
Immunohistochemical characteristics of canine aortic and
carotid body tumors.
Around 80% of paragangliomas are
carotid body or jugulotympanic glomus tumors.
For example, paragangliomas of the adrenal medulla are pheochromocytomas, and paragangliomas of the carotid bifurcation are
carotid body tumors.
Thus, the apparent manufacture of growth factors by
carotid body cells is "the diamond in the rough in this study," he says.
