✦ Synopsis

Laryngeal chondrosarcomas are much less aggressive lesions than chondrosarcomas that arise elsewhere in the body. Two cases of chondrosarcoma of the larynx encountered during a seven year period are presented, with a review of the literature. Computed tomographic (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings are described. The MRI findings of laryngeal chondrosarcoma are compared to those of cartilaginous tumors elsewhere in the body. The differential diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of laryngeal chondrosarcomas are discussed.
