Introduction
Primary cartilaginous tumors of the larynx are rare neoplasms. Chondrosarcomas constitute less than 1% of all laryngeal tumors. They are more commonly reported in Asian populations and have a 6:1 male/female ratio. Their clinical manifestation is often as painless unilateral cervical lymphadenopathy or as subcutaneous masses in the head and neck region.
Photodynamic therapy has previously been shown to reduce the bulk of tumours and vascular malformations.
