Primary chondroid tumors of the larynx represent less than 1% of all laryngeal tumors. Most of them are chondromas and they often involve to the cricoid cartilage. A 31-year-old male patient applied to the oto-laryngology service with a history of dysphonia and dyspnea. Microlaryngoscopy revealed 2 cm sized, ill-defined, covered with regular mucosa, porous, and hard mass on posterior surface of crycoid cartilage in subglottic area. Following the excision of the lesion, histopathologic examination revealed as chondroma. Two years later, local recurrence was detected and the diagnosis was again chondroma. There was no complaint of the patient in last 3 and half years of follow-up. Chondroma should carefully be differentiated from chondrosarcoma and the patients should be followed for possible recurrences.
喉原发性软骨样肿瘤占所有喉肿瘤的比例不到1%。其中大多数是软骨瘤，且常累及环状软骨。一名31岁男性患者因声音嘶哑和呼吸困难病史就诊于耳鼻喉科。显微喉镜检查发现声门下区环状软骨后表面有一个2厘米大小、边界不清、表面覆盖规则黏膜、多孔且质地坚硬的肿块。病变切除后，组织病理学检查显示为软骨瘤。两年后，检测到局部复发，诊断再次为软骨瘤。在最后的3年半随访中，患者无任何不适。软骨瘤应仔细与软骨肉瘤相鉴别，并且应对患者进行随访以观察是否可能复发。
