Popis:	The paraganglioma of the carotid sinus is a relatively rare tumor, which represents the majority of paraganglioma of the head and neck (60-70%). We report the case of a female patient of 40 years who consulted for a swelling laterocervical high right without associated clinical signs. Angiography and cervicofacial scan had confirmed the vascular nature of the lesion and suspected diagnosis of carotid paraganglioma. Surgical excision was confirmed the diagnosis on histopathologic examination. From this observation, we review the clinical, radiological and histopathological features of the tumor and its uncertain evolutionary mode and therapeutic modalities.
