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.
