Low-grade chondrosarcoma of the larynx: A case report
BACKGROUND: Chondrosarcomas of the larynx are malignant tumours that most commonly originate from the hyaline cartilage. Chondrosarcoma of the larynx, the most common type of low-grade tumour, accounts for 1% of all laryngeal neoplasms. CASE SUMMARY: We present the case of a 60-year-old female patie...

description | BACKGROUND: Chondrosarcomas of the larynx are malignant tumours that most commonly originate from the hyaline cartilage. Chondrosarcoma of the larynx, the most common type of low-grade tumour, accounts for 1% of all laryngeal neoplasms. CASE SUMMARY: We present the case of a 60-year-old female patient who developed progressive hoarseness and shortness of breath over a 2-mo period. The patient had undergone resection of a laryngeal tumour 14 years before the aforementioned symptoms occurred, and histopathological analysis indicated that it was a chondroma. During the assessment of the patient, a submucosal, oval-shaped tumour was detected that was predominantly located on the left side of the larynx and was approximately 6 cm in size. The decision to perform left partial vertical laryngectomy was made. A pathohistological diagnosis of low-grade chondrosarcoma was made. Considering the results of pathohistological analysis and the positive margins of the resection, a total laryngectomy was performed. During the 12-mo follow-up, no local relapse or regional or distant metastases was detected. CONCLUSION: Chondrosarcoma of the larynx must be considered in the differential diagnosis of laryngeal submucosal tumours. It is crucial to carefully sample of tumour tissue, differentiate chondroma and chondrosarcoma, and consider the possibility of malignant changes from chondroma to chondrosarcoma. |
