Laryngeal chondritis is a chronic disease in sheep with low morbidity, high mortality and unresolved pathogenesis. The disease has been recognized recently in Iceland and affects both ewes and rams. Animals of different ages are affected, but lambs and yearlings predominate. The disease is seen in housed animals and most cases occur during the late winter months. We report the gross and microscopical findings in 45 cases of laryngeal chondritis in Icelandic sheep.

This work aimed to characterize the clinic-pathological presentation of an outbreak of auricular and laryngeal chondritis in pigs. Visits were made to pig farms, where the clinical history was obtained, and clinical and postmortem examinations were performed. In those farms, 3% to 4% of pigs presented otohematomas, which started in the nursery and extended to the finishing phase.

Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is a rare autoimmune disease in which recurrent and progressive chondritis occurs throughout the body. We report a case of a 56-year-old female subject presented as intermittent fever and cough, who was found obvious luminal stenosis and intense F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in her larynx and trachea bronchoscopy and FDG positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT). The auricular cartilage biopsy demonstrated chondritis.

Purulent chondritis of the thyroid cartilage is a rare affliction that is not frequently observed in patients undergoing laryngeal surgery. The formation of abscesses between the inner and outer perichondria can cause constriction of the laryngeal lumen, leading to hoarseness and difficulty breathing. This report details the case of a middle-aged diabetic woman who experienced swelling in the tissue of her laryngeal cavity and destruction of her thyroid cartilage plate after undergoing laryngectomy.

Objective: Laryngeal chondritis (LC) is a rare complication of carbon dioxide transoral laser microsurgery (CO TOLMS) for laryngeal tumours and can pose a diagnostic challenge. Its magnetic resonance (MR) features have not been previously described. This study aims to characterise a cohort of patients who developed LC after CO TOLMS and describe its clinical and MR findings.
