Laryngeal papillomatosis, also known as recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) or glottal papillomatosis, is a rare medical condition in which benign tumors (papilloma) form along the aerodigestive tract.[1][2] There are two variants based on the age of onset: juvenile and adult laryngeal papillomatosis.[3] The tumors are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection of the throat. The tumors may lead to narrowing of the airway, which may cause vocal changes or airway obstruction.[4][5] Laryngeal papillomatosis is initially diagnosed through indirect laryngoscopy upon observation of growths on the larynx and can be confirmed through a biopsy.[6][7][8] Treatment for laryngeal papillomatosis aims to remove the papillomas and limit their recurrence.[9] Due to the recurrent nature of the virus, repeated treatments usually are needed.[7][9][2][10] Laryngeal papillomatosis is primarily treated surgically, though supplemental nonsurgical and/or medical treatments may be considered in some cases.[7][10] The evolution of laryngeal papillomatosis is highly variable.[4][1] Though total recovery may be observed, it is often persistent despite treatment.[11][8][1] The number of new cases of laryngeal papillomatosis cases is approximately 4.3 cases per 100,000 children and 1.8 cases per 100,000 adults annually.[1][6][7][12]
