Overview
Carotid body tumor is classified into sporadic, familial and hyperplastic form. According to Shamblin surgical classification, carotid body tumor divided into three subtypes which includes: class I that localized with minimal vascular attachment, class II that partially surrounds carotids and class III which encases carotids as well.

- Familial carotid body tumor
- Sporadic carotid body tumor
- Hyperplastic carotid body tumor
- Carotid body tumor is sub-classified into 2 categories:
- Single
- Bilateral
- Carotid body tumor may also be classified according to Shamblin surgical classification into 3 subtypes: I, II, and III.[2]
