Laryngeal chondrosarcoma: A systematic review of 592 cases

“…The cricoid cartilage represents the most frequent laryngeal cartilage to harbor LC (72%–75%), followed by the thyroid cartilages, the arytenoid cartilages, and the epiglottis . There were also cases for which no single cartilage was identified as the primary site and that were reported just as arising from the larynx or from specific mixed sites .…”

“…10,14,16,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] Additionally, there was difficulty distinguishing the two entities on biopsy in 14 cases in which features of both were found. 10,[37][38][39][40][41] The cricoid cartilage represents the most frequent laryngeal cartilage to harbor LC (72%-75%), followed by the thyroid cartilages, the arytenoid cartilages, 3,9,10,25,28,33,[42][43][44][45][46][47] and the epiglottis. 44,[48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55] There were also cases for which no single cartilage was identified as the primary site and that were reported just as arising from the larynx or from specific mixed sites.…”

Condrosarcoma de la laringe: Reporte de un caso y revisión de la literatura

“…La cricoidectomía total es un procedimiento que preserva la función de la laringe y está indicada en tumores de bajo grado y aun intermedio 30 . Se ha descrito una baja morbilidad, una buena calidad de vida y buen control oncológico con esta modalidad quirúrgica 31 . La laringectomía total es recomendada cuando el tumor abarca más del 50% del cartílago cricoides 18,30 .…”

Rotational thyrotracheopexy after cricoidectomy for low‐grade laryngeal chrondrosarcoma

“…Chondrosarcoma is the most common nonepithelial neoplasm in the laryngeal region. In 75% to 80% of the cases, the lesion arises from the cricoid cartilage, with a special predilection for the paramedian inner surface of the posterior plate . Their relatively low malignant potential allows the application of conservative surgical procedures.…”
