A Case of Double Cancer Combined with Laryngeal Cancer and Chondrosarcoma of the Right Femur

Abstract

A 53 year-old Japanese male had a past history of right femur disarticulation following surgery for chondrosarcoma in December, 1975. He visited our clinic with the complaint of hoarseness in December, 1977. A biopsy of the right vocal cord revealed squamous cell carcinoma and such was treated by right hemilaryngectomy and right radical neck dissection. The post-operation follow-up has proved uneventful. A combined laryngeal cancer and chondrosarcoma is a most rare occurrence.
