Abstract
Rosai-Dorfman disease is a rare, benign granulomatous disease that typically presents with massive cervical lymphadenopathy. In less than 50% of cases, other soft-tissue manifestations may also be found in the head and neck. Rosai-Dorfman disease can be difficult to diagnose because of its rarity and its ability to mimic, both clinically and radiologically, more common diseases such as lymphoma. The histopathologic diagnosis can also be difficult to make, particularly when the disease exhibits extranodal manifestations. We present a case of isolated extranodal Rosai-Dorfman disease involving the carotid sheath, without the typical massive adenopathy.

Abstract
We report a case of an intravagal paraganglioma and a case of a carotid body tumor to illustrate a variable presentation of the former in which it mimicked the latter on preoperative imaging. The atypical imaging features of the intravagal paraganglioma included inferior extension to the level of the carotid bifurcation and splaying of the internal and external carotid arteries, features that are similar to those seen in a case of carotid body paraganglioma. Proper differentiation of these lesions permits more appropriate preoperative counseling and surgical preparation. When using magnetic resonance angiography rather than catheter angiography, we advocate the inclusion of gadolinium contrast and three-dimensional time-of-flight techniques to better demonstrate the position of the tumor relative to the carotid bifurcation.
