Overview

Epidemiology and Demographics

Incidence

  • The incidence of this tumor is less than 3 in 100,000 individuals.[1]
  • The incidence of malignant case has been observed to be 10%.[2]

Prevalence

  • The prevalence of carotid body tumor is approximately 65% of head and neck paraganglioma.[3]
  • The prevalence of head and neck paraganglioma is 3% of all paraganglioma.
  • The estimated prevalence of parasymapathetic paraganglioma is approximately 1-2 cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide.

Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate

  • In [year], the incidence of [disease name] is approximately [number range] per 100,000 individuals with a case-fatality rate/mortality rate of [number range]%.
  • The case-fatality rate/mortality rate of [disease name] is approximately [number range].

Age

  • Carotid body tumor is more commonly observed in the adults and particularly in their fifth decade of life.[4]
  • In familial cases, the mean age of onset is younger, being the second or fourth decade of life.[5]

Gender

There is no gender preference in the incidence of this tumor according to the recent literature.[5]

Race
