摘要

Chondrosarcomas of the larynx are rare malignancies and frequently located in cricoid cartilage. They are characterized by a low tendency to metastasis (low grade type). The treatment of choice is surgery, which may be endoscopic or open partial surgery, if extension of the cancer is limited. Prognosis is generally good. In this report, a case of low grade chondrosarcoma of the larynx is presented, which was treated surgically with a combined use of amniotic membrane and stent in airway reconstruction following laryngofissure approach for resection of the tumor.
