We report the case of a 60-year-old man with a 12-day history of vomiting whenever he had a meal. Computed tomography revealed a calcified mass in the right cricoid cartilage with intraluminal and extraluminal extension. The patient underwent surgical resection of the trachea with end-to-end anastomosis. Pathological examination of the surgical specimen showed a low-grade chondrosarcoma. Eighteen months after surgery, the patient is alive and disease-free.

Chondrosarcomas (CHS) constitute approximately 20% of all primary malignant bone tumors, characterized by a slow growth rate with initial manifestation of few signs and symptoms. These malignant cartilaginous neoplasms, particularly those with dedifferentiated histological subtypes, pose significant therapeutic challenges, as they exhibit high resistance to both radiation and chemotherapy. Ranging from relatively benign, low-grade tumors (grade I) to aggressive high-grade tumors with the potential for lung metastases and a grim prognosis, there is a critical need for innovative diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, particularly for patients with more aggressive forms.

Chondrosarcomas are one of malignant tumors in which cartilaginous matrix is produced. It is divided into 2 groups including primary or secondary. Primary chondrosarcomas are the third most common primary malignant tumors of the bone.

Introduction And Importance: Chondrosarcoma is a tumor which arises from cartilage, and whose apparition can occur in any site. However, it remains rare in the larynx. Management depends on the grade and the stage of the tumor at the time of the presentation.

The relationship between surgical margins and clinical outcome is inconsistent; some authors claim that PCS can be successfully treated with marginal resection and others report more local recurrence and distant metastasis with marginal compared to wide resection. This study was intended to report the treatment and prognosis of localized PCS patients from the Japanese National Bone and Soft Tissue Tumor Registry database and to perform a systematic review of the literature to determine the relationship between surgical margins and rates of local recurrence, distant metastasis, and mortality.
