Laryngeal Chondrosarcoma as a Rare Cause of Subglottic Stenosis

Abstract EN

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.
