Abstract

The authors report the case of a 71-year-old patient who is admitted into our hospital with acute respiratory failure, which required urgent tracheotomy. The cli­ni­cal and paraclinical examinations (endoscopic exa­mi­nation, cervical computer-tomography, pulmonary ra­dio­gra­phy, histopathological and immunohistochemical exa­mi­na­tion) establish the diagnosis of laryngeal condroma. The therapeutic method of choice is surgery – in this case, external cricoid tumor ablation through median thy­ro­tomy. The evolution was favorable, the patient being decannulated 30 days postoperatively.
