J Laryngol Otol. 1996 Aug;110(8):789-92. doi: 10.1017/s002221510013498x.

Abstract

Laryngeal chondroradionecrosis is an unusual condition which may present many years after the initial radiotherapy. We present a case of late onset chondroradionecrosis which was complicated by invasive candidiasis of the arytenoid cartilages which had themselves been extruded through the laryngeal mucosa.
