Overview
Carotid body tumor must be differentiated from other diseases that cause neck mass including schwannomas and lymphadenopathy.
Differentiating Carotid Body Tumor from Other Diseases
- Carotid body tumor must be differentiated from other diseases that cause rounded neck mass and limited range of head motion:[1][2]
- Vagal schwannoma
- Lymph node mass
- Metastatic tumors
- Thyroid lesions
- Submandibular salivary gland tumours
- Branchial cleft cysts
