title: Chondrosarcoma of the larynx. A diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma.
abstract: Chondrosarcoma of the larynx. A diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma. Chondromas and chondrosarcomas of the larynx are very rare. Differential diagnosis between benign chondromas and the different degrees of malignancy in chondrosarcomas is difficult. Behaviour of chondromatous tumors of the larynx differs from those of the overall head and neck region. A case of chondrosarcoma of the larynx is described. A literature review regarding chondro(sarco)mas of the larynx and the head and neck region is given presented.
