Guild在1941年首次发现颈静脉球体,它位于颈静脉体顶部外膜上。其组织结构与颈动脉体极相似,为0.5×0.5×0.25mm的椭园形扁平小体,此种球体通常仅1个,有时2个以上。本病的命名意见不一,又称颈动脉体样瘤、鼓室体瘤、非嗜铬性副神经节瘤、化学受体瘤等,但以称作颈静脉球体瘤较为适当与常用。 1946年Guild首先报告此病,此后相继报告者渐多,作者于1982年遇见1例,病理证实为颈静脉球体瘤。 Guild first discovered the jugular vein in 1941, which is located on the adventitia of the jugular body. Its tissue structure is very similar to that of the carotid body and is an oval-shaped flat body of 0.5 × 0.5 × 0.25 mm. Such a sphere is usually only one, and sometimes two or more. The name of the disease is not the same, also known as carotid body tumors, tympanic body tumors, non-chromatophilic paraganglioma, chemical receptor tumors, etc., but called the jugular bulb tumor is more appropriate and commonly used. In 1946, Guild first reported the disease, and since then there have been more reporters. The author met one case in 1982 and his pathology proved to be a jugular glomus tumor.
