title: Carotid body tumor: appearance on color-flow Doppler sonography.
abstract: Color doppler sonography permits differentiation of vascular malformations in the neck from solid and cystic tumors. This case report of a 67-yearly-old woman demonstrates the hypervascularized nature of a carotid body tumor displacing the internal carotid artery and fed by branches of the external carotid artery.
