Computerized tomography is the imaging method of choice for evaluation of neoplastic involvement of the larynx. There are unusual primary neoplasms of the larynx which include chondroma and chondrosarcoma. These lesions may cause vocal cord paralysis and respiratory symptoms secondary to compression of the recurrent laryngeal nerve. We present a single patient with computerized tomographic imaging of laryngeal chondrosarcoma resulting in unilateral vocal cord paralysis and hoarseness.
