Laryngeal chondrosarcoma (CS) is a very rare entity. It is usually seen in 50–80-year olds. It is developed from cricoid cartilage largely. Patients have laryngeal CS complaint of respiratuvar distress, dysphonia, and dysphagia generally. A submucous mass is usually seen in physical examination with an intact mucosa. Distant metastasis is rare in CSs. Main treatment is surgical excision. An 82-year-old patient who has respiratuvar distress is presented in this paper and laryngeal CS is reviewed in the light of the literature.

“…The youngest and eldest patients who have laryngeal CS are 33 and 91 years old, in the literature [3]. 75% of laryngeal CS develops from the cricoid cartilage, 17% from thyroid, and % 5 from epiglottis, arytenoid, and the others [1, 4]. Clinical signs vary according to location and size of the tumor.…”

“…The pre-operative evaluation protocol includes a series of imaging examinations and cytology by needle biopsy (1,10). Imaging modality is important for locating and delineating the primary tumor and regional metastases, but is unsatisfactory in distinguishing chondromas from chondrosarcomas (5,11). …”

Primary chondrosarcoma of the thyroid cartilage: Surgery-based management of a rare case

et al. 2016

In this study, we present a case of a 52-year-old male with a chondrosarcoma of the left lamina of the thyroid cartilage. Pre-operative evaluations detected typical calcifications and delineated the extent of the tumor. The patient underwent a total laryngectomy to ensure the complete resection of the tumor. The tumor was histopathologically found to consist of chondrocytes in a hyaline cartilage matrix. The patient's post-operative course has been successful apart from the permanent tracheostomy. Herien, we discuss the methods and rationales for the diagnosis and management of and recovery from this rare tumor, and also provide a review of the literature.

“…8 Although skeletal and extraskeletal cartilaginous neoplasms have been successfully diagnosed by FNA, [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] they do present with a variety of diagnostic challenges for cytopathologists, particularly in unusual locations such as the larynx. 7,11,12,20,21 Diagnosis of laryngeal chondrosarcoma by FNA has recently been reported. 20,21 High-grade chondrosarcomas can be readily identified on light microscopic examination.…”

“…7,11,12,20,21 Diagnosis of laryngeal chondrosarcoma by FNA has recently been reported. 20,21 High-grade chondrosarcomas can be readily identified on light microscopic examination. However, the distinction between a chondroma, including atypical examples, and a low-grade chondrosarcoma is often not so clear-cut, 7 especially when faced with a limited biopsy specimen such as an FNA, in which neither increased cellularity nor recognizable architecture atypia can be easily appreciated and completely assessed.…”
