Chondrosarcoma is rarely seen in the larynx. A firm laryngeal mass that was covered with smooth mucosa and narrowed the laryngeal lumen was seen in laryngeal endoscopic examination of a 73-year old male with hoarseness. In computerized tomography, a mass that contained calcifications was seen involving the cricoid cartilage circumferentially and extending the supraglottic area posteriorly. The mass was biopsied twice by direct laryngoscopy without any histopathological diagnosis. The histopathological result of the third biopsy that was obtained following a laryngofissure was chonrosarcoma and the patient underwent a total laryngectomy. In this paper, a laryngeal chondrosarcoma case is presented and the diagnosis and treatment is discussed in the light of the literature
