“…Vocal cord mobility is impaired in 50 percent of cases due either to involvement of the recurrent laryngeal nerve or fixation of the cricoarytenoid joint (Neel and Unni, 1982). Cases presenting with vocal cord palsy in which the diagnosis of chondrosarcoma was made subsquently, have been described previously (Leonetti et al, 1987;Nicolai et al, 1990) and the early cord palsy in our case may have been due to tumour. An external neck mass has also been reported (Cantrell et al, 1980).…”

“…A higher level of suspicion on the part of the referring physician would probably have brought these patients earlier to a laryngologist. Unexplained unilateral vocal cord palsy has been reported as an unusual late sign of chondrosarcoma of the cricoid [25], although Nicolai et al [31] consider it to be an early sign of chondrosarcoma. CT scanning is a reliable method of evaluating chondrosarcoma of the larynx, thereby predicting the feasibility of partial laryngeal resection [15,32,34,38].…”

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.

“…The clinical presentation is varied, which may range from no symptoms in small lesions to manifestations of progressive dyspnea, stridor, dysphagia, dysphonia, but it rarely causes pain. Cases of idiopathic paralysis of vocal folds have been described in the literature as a consequence of laryngeal chondrosarcoma 2,3 . The onset of chondrosarcoma in two patients after radiotherapy for primary treatment of vocal fold squamous cell carcinoma has been reported, which can occur up to 16 years after exposure 3,4 .…”

Cart ilaginous tumors of the larynx are extremely rare neoplasms that account for approximately one per cent of all tumors of this organ. Less than 0.1% correspond to chondrosarcomas. Chondroma and low-grade chondrosarcoma are the most common, 70-75% of these tumors arise on the endolaryngeal surface of the posterior lamina of the cricoid cartilage. The diagnosis of laryngeal chondrosarcoma is likely to be missed because of its infrequent occurrence and its indolent pattern of growth. The clinical presentation is varied and directly dependent on size and location of tumor: stridor, hoarseness, dyspnea or neck mass are commonly presented signs. The objective of this study was to show an unusual case of laryngeal chondrosarcoma originating from thyroid cartilage, discussing its clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.
