[Diagnosis of recurrence of a glomus carotid artery tumor by somatostatin receptor scintigraphy].
Glomus caroticum tumours belong to the non chromaffine paragangliomas. As the incidence is very poor with 1% in the collective of a vascular-surgery department, the correct diagnosis is preoperatively only found in 10-20% of the cases. The early detection of primary- or recurrence-tumour is important for the surgical proceedings. With advanced tumour-stage, i.e. with involvement of the carotid artery in the tumour-process, the perioperative mortality increases. Furthermore nerve lesions following surgical tumour-resection as a complication are more frequent. This case-report point out the importance of the somatostatin-receptor-scintigraphy in the differentiation of glomus caroticum tumour-recurrence and postoperative scar. In our patient the suspicion of tumour-recurrence came up already 2 years ago, but could not be verified by MRT and angiography.
