Abstract

Chondrosarcoma of the larynx is rare. The posterolateral lamina of the cricoid cartilage is the site most commonly involved. Although the symptomology, radiological and histopathological diagnostic features are well known, the condition continues to be diagnosed late and recurrences after excision are common. In general, radical surgical excision can result in long-term remission, although prognosis is related to the histopathological grade of the tumor. While a conservative surgical approach in low-grade tumors is justified, unexplained hoarseness, unilateral vocal cord paralysis and dyspnea requires CT scan examination.
