Abstract
Two cases of carotid body tumor are reported. The first case was a 52-year-old female, who complained of abnormal sensation in the pharynx and swelling in the left side of the pharynx. The tumor was surgically removed. The second case was a 23-year-old female, who had swelling in the left side of the neck. The tumor was resected, but was found to have invaded the internal jugular vein. Radiotherapy was performed following surgery. The carotid angiography clearly supports our choice of therapy.
