title: [Chondrosarcoma of the larynx. Needle biopsy diagnosis by computed tomography].
abstract: Chondrosarcoma of the larynx is the most frequent sarcoma at this site. The growth rate is very slow, so that the first symptoms, dyspnea and hoarseness, may be insidious. Chondrosarcomas are usually of low-grade malignance and rarely metasize. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice. We present a case of diagnostic FNA using computed tomography.
