“…Cartilaginous tumors of the cricoid [7], arytenoid [8], and thyroid cartilage [9] have been reported in the literature in decreasing order. Hyoid chondromas have been reported as rare [4,10,11]. Similar cases of chondroma of the greater cornu of hyoid bone have been reported by Nakagawa et al [10] and Ozcan et al [12].…”

“…Cartilaginous tumours of the larynx are uncommon, with approximately 250 cases reported in the literature so far in toto [1] since the original case presentation by Travers [2] to the Medico-Chirurgical Society of London in 1816. The cartilaginous mesenchymal tumours reported in the literature so far include-chondroma, chondrosarcoma, and chondroblastoma [3][4][5][6]. Majority of the times, these lesions turn out to be malignant.…”

Mass lesions of the larynx are one of the most common clinical entity which we come across in routine otorhinolaryngology and head neck practice with varied symptomatology. Among all the mass lesions of the larynx, Epithelial neoplasms constitute up to 97%. Mesenchymal tumours of the larynx constitute only 0.3-1.0% of all the laryngeal tumors. Abundance of cartilage structures in the larynx made it a spot for mesenchymal tumors [chondromas and chandrosacrcomas]. The spectrum of mesenchymal neoplasms can vary from chondromas, chondroblastoma to chondrosarcoma. Here we want to share our experience of a mesenchymal tumour of the larynx. This case is reported for the rarity and ambiguity in diagnosis. Though these are slow-growing tumours with an early presentation, in our case, the patient had a supportive tracheostomy without definitive treatment for more than 2 years. We managed this patient by excising the mass by lateral pharyngotomy with the preservation of larynx followed by successful Decannulation in 20 days.

“…Sampling of the cellular components may be problematic and matrix is non‐specific, rendering a definite diagnosis very difficult, particularly CS . In the hyoid bone, like in every other location, the distinction between benign (e.g., chondroma) and low grade malignant tumors can only be done with adequate clinical and radiological data, due to overlapping cytological features . The same logic is applied in the presence of a high grade CS and the differential diagnosis with the chondroblastic variant of osteosarcoma, although the excess of pleomorphism in chondroblastic cells, osteoid matrix in the background and younger age should alert for the latter diagnosis .…”

Chondrosarcoma is a malignant chondroid matrix-producing neoplasm which usually presents in the bones of the pelvis, followed by the proximal femur, proximal humerus, distal femur and ribs. The occurrence of this lesion in the hyoid bone is exceedingly rare, with only a few reported cases, and its diagnosis by fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in this particular location, to our knowledge, has never been addressed. Furthermore, the sampling of chondroid matrix at this site can pose a diagnostic dilemma with other lesions of the submandibular region. This report describes the clinical, radiologic and cytologic features on FNAC of a chondrosarcoma of the hyoid bone, emphasizing the diagnostic pitfalls of this entity and expanding the cytologic differential diagnosis of tumors of the submandibular region.

Cartilagenous tumors of the hyoid bone, both benign and malignant, have been described in the pastchondrosarcoma, 1-4 chondroblastoma, 5 and chondroma. [6][7][8][9] This article describes an osteoma of the hyoid bone, probably the first of its kind to be reported. Case ReportA 38-year-old Sudanese man complained of a swelling in the left side of the upper neck of 10 months' duration ( Figure 1). It was painless, and he did not have any otolaryngic symptoms. The swelling, measuring about 5 × 4cm, was very hard and not mobile. The overlying skin was not adherent to the mass. The mass moved with the movement of the tongue and also during swallowing. It seemed to be very closely attached to the hyoid bone. Examination of the pharynx was normal, but indirect laryngoscopy showed a uniform smooth swelling in the left side of the laryngopharynx with intact and normal mucous membrane covering it. The vocal cords and the rest of the larynx were normal. No cervical lymphadenopathy was noted, and his general condition was satisfactory.Results of blood analyses and urinalysis were normal. Chest x-ray film was also normal. Plain x-ray film of the neck was reported as showing a homogenous cartilagenous mass in the neck anterior to trachea and pharynx in the region of the hyoid bone. The mass crossed the midline to the right side and seemed to arise from the anterior portion of the hyoid bone. It showed lamination, and the margins were not smooth. The tumor was excised under general anesthesia by a skin crease incision on the upper left side of the neck. It was a very hard mass, measuring 5 x 4 x 2 cm, with sessile base involving the left half of the hyoid bone. It was excised along with the left two thirds of the hyoid bone. The mucosal lining of the pharynx and larynx was left intact. The patient made a satisfactory recovery from surgery.
