Endolaryngeal resection of laryngeal chondrosarcoma.
Chondrosarcoma is a rare tumor. In this study, we present a case with laryngeal chondrosarcoma that was treated by an endolaryngeal approach using an operation microscope. The patient remains disease-free to date, with no evidence of new or recurrent disease more than 3 years after the endolaryngeal surgery. The computerized tomography and endoscopic examinations did not reveal any recurrent disease, indicating the success of the endolaryngeal approach.
