pubmed:abstractText |
Cervical sympathetic chain schwannoma (CSCS) sometimes mimics carotid body tumor (CBT). Differential diagnosis between these tumors is sometimes difficult using MRI alone. MRA, color Doppler ultrasonography, and fine needle aspiration (FNA) after imaging may be helpful to rule out CBT. Surgical resection of CSCS is relatively effortless, and Horner's syndrome is an expected but acceptable postoperative complication. Intratumoral hemorrhage and vasodilation may be the main reasons for significant enhancement on MRI.
