Abstract

Chondroma and laryngeal chondrosarcomas, tumours of variable malignancy, are rare but a source of concern given their location and the surgery involved. Their anatomical limits and classification are still difficult, to the extent that the diagnosis of chondroma is often questioned. Of the four cases reported, two presented a high degree of malignancy, including one with metastasis. Two required a total laryngectomy, and two a partial laryngectomy with a costal cartilage graft in one case.
