A member asked:
Can you please tell me about a paraganglioma surgically removed from their neck?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Paraganglioma: The majority of paragangliomas are benign tumors. In the neck, the most common one is called a carotid body tumor. The risk of having these removed has to do with several important nerves and blood vessels that are either involved or in the vicinity of the tumor.
