Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Pathology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Laryngeal chondroma is a rare, benign neoplasm.
  • It can present as a neck mass or cause airway obstruction, hoarseness, or dyspnea.
  • Common sites include the cricoid, thyroid, arytenoid, and epiglottic cartilages.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report cases of laryngeal chondroma.
  • To review radiologic and histopathologic findings.
  • To provide a literature review on laryngeal chondroma.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of thyroid cartilage chondroma.
  • Case report of cricoid chondroma causing airway obstruction.
  • Review of radiologic studies and histopathologic analysis.
  • Literature review of laryngeal chondroma.

Main Results:

  • Chondroma and low-grade chondrosarcoma are histologically difficult to distinguish.
  • Local surgical excision with long-term follow-up is recommended.
  • Two cases are presented, one of thyroid cartilage chondroma and one of cricoid chondroma with airway obstruction.

Conclusions:

  • Laryngeal chondromas are rare benign tumors.
  • Distinguishing chondroma from low-grade chondrosarcoma requires careful evaluation.
  • Local excision and follow-up are recommended management strategies.
