AI Article Synopsis
- Laryngeal cartilaginous tumors, particularly chondromas and chondrosarcomas, are rare occurrences.
- A 27-year-old man experienced dyspnea after intubation, and imaging revealed a mass obstructing 75% of his airway, which was identified as a chondroma upon further analysis.
- The case highlights the importance for clinicians to consider laryngeal chondromas in patients presenting with breathing difficulties after intubation.
Article Abstract
Introduction: Laryngeal cartilaginous framework tumors are very rare. Chondroma and chondrosarcoma are the most common types of these tumors.
Patient Presentation: A 27-year-old man with a history of intubation presented with exercise-induced dyspnea. A computed tomography scan of larynx showed a rounded and circumscribed mass without infiltration of the adjacent structures which obstructs 75% of airway. Histopathological investigation of the mass revealed the chondroma of the larynx. The patients' history of intubation trauma with the subsequent progressive onset of clinical symptoms demonstrates the relationship between these 2 entities.
Conclusion: Clinicians should consider laryngeal chondroma in the differential diagnosis of dyspnea after endotracheal intubation.

Laryngeal chondroma is a very rare laryngeal tumor that commonly presents as dysphonia and dyspnea. A combination of clinical, histological, and radiological data has paramount importance for accurate diagnosis of this rare disease. It is difficult to differentiate laryngeal chondroma from chondrosarcoma solely based on radiological imaging; therefore, radiologists need to specify the origin of the tumor and the level of extension.

Introduction And Objectives: Laryngeal chondrosarcoma is a rare laryngeal pathology arising from cartilaginous structures and is predominantly found in the cricoid cartilage. This study investigates its presentation, treatment modalities and patient outcomes.
Patients Or Materials And Methods: Retrospective study of laryngeal chondrosarcoma cases followed from 1992 to 2022 in the Otorhinolaryngology department of a cancer center - Instituto Português de Oncologia de Lisboa.
Objective: Cartilaginous tumors of the larynx are rare, representing less than 1% of all laryngeal tumors. Chondromas are benign mesenchymal tumors characterized by a slow-paced growth, primarily originated in the cricoid cartilage, followed by the thyroid, arytenoid, and epiglottic cartilages. This scoping review aims to understand the extent of evidence on the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, morbidity, and recurrence of the laryngeal chondroma (LC).

The chondromas of laryngeal cartilage constitute less than 1% of common mesenchymal tumors of the larynx. 70-75% of chondroma is located at the endolaryngeal surface of the cricoid cartilage. Here is a case report of the chondroma of arytenoid cartilage-a rare site of occurrence.
