A case of chondrosarcoma of the larynx is reported. A 77-year-old man consulted our clinic with hoarseness and mild dyspnea. Bilateral vocal cords were fixed at the paramedian line. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) demonstrated a mass arising from the cricoid cartilage. Biopsy was performed and the histological examination demonstrated low grade chondrosarcoma. Basis on these findings and clinical symptoms, we performed total laryngectomy. Fifteen months after surgery, there is no any evidence of recurrence.
