“…After study selection according to the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, 7 31 studies with 41 patients with laryngeal conventional chondrosarcomas met the criteria for the systematic review (Figure 1). 3,4,9–37 The year of publication of the studies included in this review ranged from 1988 to 2021. With an additional 14 cases in our institution (Table 1), the final study cohort included 55 cases.…”

Background and Purpose To comprehensively summarize the characteristics of radiological findings of laryngeal conventional chondrosarcomas. Methods We included patients with pathologically proven laryngeal conventional chondrosarcomas with CT and /or MRI, including 41 cases from 31 publications recruited after a systematic review and 14 cases from our institution. Two board‐certified radiologists reviewed and evaluated all the radiological images. The relationship between pathological grade and radiological findings was analyzed. Results The median long diameter of the lesion was 3.1 cm (range, 1.5‐8.5 cm). The most common location was the cricoid (74.5%), followed by the thyroid (12.7%), cricoid and thyroid (7.3%), and arytenoid (5.5%). All lesions showed well‐defined margins. Cortical defect/expansion (98.0%), internal low density (89.6%), and calcification (95.8%) with homogeneous and scarce contrast enhancement on contrast‐enhanced CT (85.3%) were frequently observed. All cases showed high signal on T2‐weighted imaging, low signal on T1‐weighted imaging (T1WI), and heterogeneous and mild contrast enhancement on postcontrast T1WI. No significant differences were found between the pathological grades and radiological findings. Conclusions In our summary of comprehensive CT and MRI findings of laryngeal conventional chondrosarcomas, we found that the knowledge of these radiological features may facilitate prompt diagnosis and appropriate management.

“…Of these, 11 were treated with partial laryngectomy, 5 with total laryngectomy and 1 patient initially treated with partial laryngectomy later received a total laryngectomy. After an average time of 10 years of follow-up, 76% had no evidence of recurrence; however, there are some conflicting reports with recurrence reported between 18% and 40% 2 3 9…”

“…Chondrosarcomas are typically located at the metaphyseal ends of long bones, in the femur and humerus, and classified into grades 1, 2 or 3, based on the criteria by Lichtenstein and Jaffe 2. When found in the larynx, they are usually a slow-growing tumour, most commonly originating from the cricoid cartilage (70%) with less than 20% found in the thyroid cartilage 3…”

Chondrosarcoma of the thyroid cartilage: surgical management of a rare case

Laryngeal malignancy encompasses about 1% of all cancers. Chondrosarcoma in the head and neck region represents about 0.1% of head and neck malignancies. Typical presenting symptoms relate to the anatomical location of these tumours and include dysphonia, inspiratory stridor, dysphagia, odynophagia or a neck mass. Benign and malignant cartilaginous cancers of the larynx have been described, and preoperative diagnosis can be difficult. Our report highlights the surgical management of a male patient in his 50s with chondrosarcoma of the thyroid cartilage.

SUMMARY Laryngeal chondrosarcomas (LCS) are rare lesions that behave as locally aggressive tumours, producing symptoms such as dysphonia, dyspnoea, dysphagia and hoarseness. Different approaches for the treatment of LCS have been described in the literature. The main purpose of this investigation was to find all cases of LCS published to date and analyse management data and survival outcomes. In December 2020, a systematic review was performed following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and the Provider Enrollment, Chain, and Ownership System (PECOS) method including articles published up to this date on different aspects of LCS. The search included the terms larynx, laryngeal, chondrosarcoma. A total of 148 articles were included in this systematic review describing 381 cases of LCS. Dyspnoea was the most reported symptom followed by hoarseness and neck mass sensation. Cricoid cartilage was the most usual location. Survival rate was influenced by both surgical technique (log-rank = 11.7; p = 0.008) and the degree of tumour histologic differentiation (log-rank = 18.3; p = 0.003).
