Laryngeal malignancy encompasses about 1% of all cancers. Chondrosarcoma in the head and neck region represents about 0.1% of head and neck malignancies. Typical presenting symptoms relate to the anatomical location of these tumours and include dysphonia, inspiratory stridor, dysphagia, odynophagia or a neck mass. Benign and malignant cartilaginous cancers of the larynx have been described, and preoperative diagnosis can be difficult. Our report highlights the surgical management of a male patient in his 50s with chondrosarcoma of the thyroid cartilage.
喉恶性肿瘤约占所有癌症的1%。头颈部软骨肉瘤约占头颈部恶性肿瘤的0.1%。典型的症状与这些肿瘤的解剖位置有关,包括声音嘶哑、吸气性喘鸣、吞咽困难、吞咽痛或颈部肿块。喉软骨的良性和恶性肿瘤均有报道,术前诊断可能困难。我们的报告重点介绍了一名50多岁男性甲状腺软骨软骨肉瘤患者的手术治疗。
