Abstract
Laryngeal chondroma is a rare disease, accounting for less than 1% of all laryngeal primary tumors. Tissue biopsy, CT, and MRI are useful for the diagnosis, but differentiation from chondrosarcoma is often difficult. The primary treatment is surgery. Although chondromas are benign tumors, among cases in which the tumor is left unresected, the recurrence rate is high, and in many cases, depending on the size and location, they may affect the respiratory tract. Therefore, it is necessary to select a treatment approach that would include tumor resection, laryngeal preservation, and airway maintenance. We report a case of laryngeal chondroma with airway obstruction in which we performed a total laryngectomy.
