“…Patients with chondrosarcomas most commonly present with hoarseness, stridor and dyspnea, dysphagia and occasionally a neck mass. Usually the tumor appears as a smooth submucosal mass (1,34,35) in the laryngeal lumen and this is an important feature because patients may have inconclusive epithelial biopsies which delay accurate diagnosis. We have shown that a deep wedge of material removed hemostatically by CO 2 laser gives a far more reliable biopsy diagnosis.…”

This paper presents a review of the experience of 12 patients with chondrosarcoma of the larynx treated at The Royal National Throat, Nose and Ear Hospital, London, over the last 24 years. This represents the largest European series and the third largest in the world. Chondrosarcoma is the most frequent non-epithelial malignant tumor of the larynx, with 83.3% of cases arising from the cricoid cartilage in our series. We have shown that deep wedge biopsy with a CO2 laser, aided by computerized tomography scanning, gives the most reliable diagnosis. Laryngeal chondrosarcoma is characterized by indolent growth, a potential for local recurrence and, infrequently, by metastases. The treatment details of our patients are discussed. Adequate partial resection is often successful and use of CO2 laser as the initial treatment in five of these cases is presented.

“…5 Unlike most non-squamous cell tumours, which are submucosa-based lesions, SCCs arise from the mucosa and, therefore, can be easily visualised at laryngoscopy, and biopsied. 6,7 The principal role of radiologic examinations is to evaluate deep tumour extent and anatomic relationship with surrounding structures, which can be missed at endoscopy and physical examination. Moreover, radiologic examinations allow simultaneous evaluation of neck lymph nodes and distant metastases.…”

“…3,4 Laryngocele is an unusual disease representing more than 20% of the true submucosal lesions of the larynx. 5 Larry, 6 a surgeon to Napoleon army, first described laryngocele in 1829. He described it as the compressible pouches related to the thyrohyoid membrane among the Muzzins, who shouted Korans from the roof of the mosques.…”
