Advanced stage laryngeal chondrosarcoma

Chondrosarcoma is a tumor very seldom encountered in the larynx. In this location chondrosarcomas have typical features: slow growing, metastasis rares and scarce tendency to recur. But recurrences occurs at long-term and often can be controlled. We report a case diagnosed and treated in our Hospital which, on the contrary, recurrences presented in a short-term after first surgical removal. Clinical management and treatment of these neoplasms are reviewed.
