In an experimental study in growing rabbits an endolaryngeal injury to the subglottis resulted in the development of a stenosis due to the formation of scar tissue containing ectopic cartilage. For comparison, biopsies taken from the subglottic stenosis in 8 children were studied histologically. In 6 cases ectopic cartilage was observed; all patients had a history of endotracheal intubation. In 3 children the diagnosis hamartoma was made. In the remaining 3 cases the formation of ectopic cartilage might have been a direct reaction to the endolaryngeal intubation. The observations suggest that the formation of ectopic cartilage in acquired subglottic stenosis is not always due to a developmental aberration such as a hamartoma.
