Carotid Body Tumor Excision in a Limited Resource Setting
Nyabyenda, V.; Tuyishimire, G.; Gasana, E. & Shaye, D. A.
Abstract
The management of carotid body tumors has been well described with the assumption that significant diagnostic and surgical
resources are readily at hand. For most patients with these tumors, however, surgical resources remain limited. In this case
study, we describe the successful surgical management of a carotid body tumor at Rwanda’s University Teaching Hospital
despite the lack of certain resources.
