ABSTRACT

Chordomas are rare, malignant bone tumors that arise from embryological remnants of the notochord, typically affecting the skull base, mobile spine, and sacrum with uncommon metastasis to the larynx. Patients with metastasis to the larynx may present with slowly progressive dysphonia and dyspnea. Here, we report an organ-preservation treatment strategy for a patie nt with widely metastatic extra-axial chordoma presenting with airway compromise who was found to have a new metastasis to the cricoid cartilage.
