This case report describes a 33-year-old male patient who presented with right-sided neck swelling. The patient was diagnosed with paraganglioma, a rare neuroendocrine tumour, located in the right upper carotid space. Diagnostic methods included ultrasound (USG), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). The MRI suggested a carotid body tumour, and the final diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology after surgical removal of the lesion. Surgical resection is the recommended treatment for this type of tumour.
