Abstract |
Objective |
The present study describes the clinical, radiological and histological features of laryngeal chondrosarcoma, on the basis of two clinical cases, and discusses management.
Case studies |
Two male patients, aged 63 and 51years, presented with low-grade chondrosarcoma revealed respectively by a mass in the lateral neck and by laryngeal dyspnea. CT showed a tumoral process with calcification, developed from the thyroid and cricoid cartilage, respectively. The first patient underwent partial and the second total laryngectomy.
Discussion |
Chondrosarcoma is diagnosed on the basis of combined clinical, radiological and histological signs. Differential diagnosis with chondroma may be difficult, especially in grade-1 chondrosarcoma.
Conclusion |
Laryngeal chondrosarcoma is a rare tumor. Management is basically surgical. Prognosis is generally good, depending essentially on histologic grade.
