Simultaneous Malignant and Benign Nonepithelial Neoplasms of the Larynx—A Case Report and Literature Review

Nonepithelial tumors of the larynx are relatively rare neoplasms of the head and neck. The chondrosarcoma, which develops commonly from cricoid and thyroid cartilage, stands for 0.2% of the laryngeal malignant neoplasms. The rhabdomyoma is even more uncommon benign tumor developing from the laryngea...

Description
Summary:Nonepithelial tumors of the larynx are relatively rare neoplasms of the head and neck. The chondrosarcoma, which develops commonly from cricoid and thyroid cartilage, stands for 0.2% of the laryngeal malignant neoplasms. The rhabdomyoma is even more uncommon benign tumor developing from the laryngeal striated muscles. The clinical manifestation and the treatment options depend on the histopathological evaluation, tumor localization, and its size. In presented case, the simultaneous occurrence of benign and malignant tumors of mesenchymal origin in the patient’s larynx was provoking hoarseness, globus sensation, and dysphagia. To the best of authors’ knowledge, no other case of the concomitance of rhabdomyoma and chondrosarcoma of the larynx have been reported in the literature.
