    abstract = "The case of a 50-year-old man with chondrosarcoma of the larynx treated
with radiotherapy is reported. The patient presented with hoarseness and
dyspnea. He underwent computed tomography (CT), which demonstrated a
soft tissue mass of the larynx. Direct laryngoscopy with biopsy
established the diagnosis of chondrosarcoma. Although experience with
radiotherapy in these cases has been lacking in the literature, it was
considered and eventually used, as radical surgery would result in
severe cosmetic and functional impairment. Radiation therapy alone
resulted in long-term remission of the tumour for more than 3 years. The
patient has been followed up using CT and direct laryngoscopy for early
detection of recurrence or metastases."
