[A case of multiple chemodectoma: clinical and electron microscopical studies]. 1978

A Kessoku, and S Takemiya, and F Shimada, and N Tanaka, and H Kohno

We observed electronmicroscopically and clinically a case of multiple chemodectoma, which has occurred from glomus caroticum sinistra and glomus jugularis sinistra of a 18 year old boy. The diagnosis was especially made by an angiography of the left common carotid artery and by a retrograde venography of the left internal jugular vein. Electronmicroscopically two kinds of tumor cells in this chemodectoma were identified. These cytoplasmas showed cored neurosecretory granules measured 125 to 250 A in diameter markedly increasing in number. Moreover in the island of the tumor cells of the carotid body tumor we happened to observe the nerve ending.

D010236 Paraganglioma, Extra-Adrenal A relatively rare, usually benign neoplasm originating in the chemoreceptor tissue of the CAROTID BODY; GLOMUS JUGULARE; GLOMUS TYMPANICUM; AORTIC BODIES; and the female genital tract. It consists histologically of rounded or ovoid hyperchromatic cells that tend to be grouped in an alveolus-like pattern within a scant to moderate amount of fibrous stroma and a few large thin-walled vascular channels.

D002345 Carotid Body Tumor Benign paraganglioma at the bifurcation of the COMMON CAROTID ARTERIES. It can encroach on the parapharyngeal space and produce dysphagia, pain, and cranial nerve palsies.

D005925 Glomus Jugulare Tumor A paraganglioma involving the glomus jugulare, a microscopic collection of chemoreceptor tissue in the adventitia of the bulb of the jugular vein. It may cause paralysis of the vocal cords, attacks of dizziness, blackouts, and nystagmus. It is not resectable but radiation therapy is effective. It regresses slowly, but permanent control is regularly achieved.
