Laryngeal chondrosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor that arises from the cartilaginous structures of the larynx. It is a slow-growing neoplasm with high tendency to locoregional recurrence after treatment. Surgery is the primary treatment. Prognosis depends on histological differentiation degree and quality of surgical excision which can be very mutilating. Distant metastatis can occur in cases of histological high-grade tumors. From a new observation and a review of the literature, we discuss the clinical characteristics, therapeutic modalities and patient outcomes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
