Epiglottic Chondroma: Diagnostic Challenges and Management Strategies

Abstract

Chondromas are benign neoplasms arising from cartilaginous tissue, predominantly found in bones; with soft-tissue occurrences are rare [1]. Among the infrequent sites of occurrence, chondromas of the upper aerodigestive tract are exceptionally uncommon [2]. Diagnosing epiglottic chondroma presents a challenge due to its rarity and non specific clinical presentation. Limited cases in the literature highlight the importance of considering chondromas in the differential diagnosis, especially in patients with chronic symptoms such as dysphagia or globus sensation [3-5].
