Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis

Abstract: Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis is a relatively rare disease caused by members of the human papilloma virus family. Lesions may occur anywhere throughout the respiratory tract but show a predilection for squamo-columnar epithelial junctions, frequently leading to hoarseness and upper airway obstruction. Rarely, it can progress to squamous cell carcinoma. The impact of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis on patients, their families, and the health care system is considerable. Unfortunately, despite extens… Show more

“…This rare benign condition, caused by HPV6 and HPV11, occasionally transforms to frank malignancies. Known risk factors for HPV transmission such as lifetime number of sexual partners and oral-genital sexual contact are also associated with adult recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (10,11).

“…Such papillomas pose a threat to the patient's health and life, and may undergo oncogenic transformation. Cases of total remission have been reported (33), and papillomas that are due to HPV11 infection are more severe (39).…”
