AB  - Carotid body paragangliomas (CBP) are relatively rare tumors arising from the 
      carotid body paraganglion. Clinical signs and images are necessary to establish 
      the diagnosis. Surgery is the preferred method of treatment, paying special 
      attention to the carotid artery. Nine patients with carotid body tumors were 
      identified, three of them with complicated diagnosis. One patient is treated with 
      radiotherapy. Out of the eight surgical patients, three preserved the whole 
      arterial structure, the external carotid artery is resected in two patients, the 
      carotid artery is replaced (safen graft, gore tex prosthesis) in other two 
      patients, and the common carotid was tied in the remaining patient. Our objective 
      is to show the decisions taken in the patients from our casuistic, comparing them 
      to the literature data. We conclude that the diagnosis may be deceptive, and that 
      the attitude forward the carotid is variable, always being prepared to do 
      arterial replacement techniques.
