[Problems with carotid chemodectomas].
The authors report on their initial observation of a Shamblin Type I carotid body chemodectoma. Surgical exeresis was complete and relatively easy even though the diagnosis has been carried out in the open air. They take the opportunity to discuss diagnostic, therapeutic, evolutional and nosological problems connected with this rare neoplasm.
