title: Chondrosarcoma of chest wall metastasising to the larynx: Case report and review of literature.
abstract: Chondrosarcoma is the most common malignant tumor of the chest wall. Most patients present with painful progressive swelling in the anterior chest wall arising from the costochondrosternal junction. CT scan with intravenous contrast is the investigation of choice. Wide excision with adequate margins is the standard treatment for localized disease after image guided biopsy. The role of chemotherapy and radiotherapy is limited. Lung is the most common site for metastasis. Metastasis to the larynx from chondrosarcoma has not been reported in the literature though primary chondrosarcoma can occur in the larynx. We hereby report a case of laryngeal metastasis from chondrosarcoma of the chest wall as a part of disease failure.
