title: [Congenital chondroma of the larynx].
abstract: Cartilaginous tumours of the larynx are uncommon. For the first time, a case report of a congenital chondroma of the larynx in a two-day-old girl is presented. Only a few hours after birth the tumour caused inspiratory stridor and dyspnoea and secondarily pneumothorax and atelectasis of the lung. After intubation and tumour resection the atelectasis and the pneumothorax disappeared spontaneously. Chondromas of the larynx should be considered in different diagnosis of congenital anomalies of the larynx.
