Chondrosarcoma of the arytenoids- a rare laryngeal malignancy.

ABSTRACT

Even though laryngeal malignancies are the most frequent primary malignancies of the upper aero digestive tract except for oral cavity cancers, laryngeal chondrosarcomas are rare tumors, constituting less than 1% of all laryngeal tumors. We present a rare case of chondrosarcoma arising from the right arytenoid cartilage with sub glottic extension. The mode of presentation and management of the case is presented along with a review of the literature.
