Abstract

Laryngeal chondrosarcomas are rare tumors. They usually clinically present late as they are slow growing tumors. We reported a case of laryngeal chondrosarcoma in a middle-aged male present with hoarseness of voice along with stridor. The tumor was located in subglottis with destruction of cricoid cartilage. The histopathological evaluation is particularly important as diagnosis and grading needs strict follow up of criteria.

Keywords: Chondrosarcoma; Hoarseness; Larynx.
