“…However, some studies have suggested that a history of radiotherapy and Teflon injection may be predisposing factors for malignant cartilaginous tumors. 9 , 25 , 26 , 27 Notably, these studies were focused on malignant tumors and not on chondromas. 25 , 28 , 29 In our study, we did not identify any significant history of radiation exposure or Teflon injections.…”

Importantly, Gökdoğan et al 7 proposed in 2016 that trauma from endotracheal intubation may lead to the development of LC through a process known as chondrometaplasia transformation.…”

ObjectiveCartilaginous tumors of the larynx are rare, representing less than 1% of all laryngeal tumors. Chondromas are benign mesenchymal tumors characterized by a slow‐paced growth, primarily originated in the cricoid cartilage, followed by the thyroid, arytenoid, and epiglottic cartilages. This scoping review aims to understand the extent of evidence on the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, morbidity, and recurrence of the laryngeal chondroma (LC).Data sourcesMEDLINE (Ovid), Embase (Elsevier), Web of Science (Clarivate), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and Systematic Reviews, Lilacs, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases.Review methodsThe scoping review was conducted from 1816 to 2023, for observational studies describing LC. Titles and abstracts were screened for relevance, followed by an evaluation of the full text for eligibility. The data were collected from the qualifying articles, and a narrative summary of the outcomes was prepared.ResultsOne hundred and nineteen studies met the inclusion criteria. Ninety‐four case reports, 22 case series, and 3 cohorts. Two hundred and four participants with a diagnosis of LC were described. Male:female ratio was 2.8:1. The most common localization was the cricoid (113; 47.08%), followed by the thyroid (45; 18.75%), and the arytenoid cartilage (27; 11.25%). Dyspnea (78.85%) and hoarseness (74.28%) were the most reported symptoms. The recurrence rate was 11.25%, and complications were uncommon following the resection.ConclusionThis scoping review found a low‐frequency rate over all the cartilaginous laryngeal tumors. Most patients were treated with resection, with a low rate of malignancy conversion. This population has low attributable mortality, morbidity, and recurrence according to the current literature.

“…The symptoms of tumours of the trachea consist of cough, dyspnoea and haemoptysis. If the neoplasm is in the subglottic region there is hoarseness and as the tumour increases in size dynspncea ensues-McCall, Dupertuis and Gardiner (1944), Rosedale (1947)-and stridor develops. From study of the literature it would appear that cases are not commonly diagnosed until stridor has appeared.…”

“…As soon as the diagnosis is made, all cartilaginous tumors should be excised completely with a fairly wide margin in order to avoid recurrence, 5 and also because there is always a small percentage of these tumors which may assume malignant characteristics. 8 According to Link,8 tumors arising from the thyroid cartilage may be removed by an external approach with a submucous type resection or by morcellation without removing any of the laryngeal mucosa.…”

A.M., a 58 year old merchant seaman, was admitted to the United States Public Health Service Hospital, Staten Island, New York, on November 2 5, 1957, with a history of gradual progressive hoarseness of three months' duration. This hoarseness was of insidious onset, and was not preceded by an upper respiratory infection. The history also revealed an asymptomatic left neck mass of two weeks' duration.Physical examination revealed a well-developed, well-nourished, white man in apparent good physical condition. His voice was hoarse, but he showed no evidence of any respiratory difficulty. Breathing was normal. A firm, nodular, slightly mobile, and non-tender mass, which shifted upward whenever the patient swallowed, was palpable on the left side of the neck in the general area of the left lobe of the thyroid gland. No definite attachment of this mass to the outer portion of the larynx was discernible upon physical examination. Direct laryngoscopy revealed the entire larynx shifted to the right by the left neck mass, and a complete paralysis of the left vocal cord was present; the supra and subglottic laryngeal areas showed no evi dence of any deformity, and no intralaryngeal lesions were visible. The clinical impression at this time was an enlargement of the left lobe of the thyroid gland with pressure upon the left recurrent laryn geal nerve, causing a left vocal cord paralysis. A clinical suspicion of a thyroid malignancy was entertained. An x-ray of the neck revealed a very fine mottled area of calci fication appearing to be in the general region of the left lobe of the thyroid gland (Fig. 1). The radiologist thought this might represent
