Abstract

Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis is characterized by the appearance of benign laryngeal squamous papillomas in childhood. Lung involvement is rare. We report a case of childhood laryngeal papillomas who developed tracheobronchial papillomas and a nodule in the lung after a period of 21 years. Frequent sampling of pulmonary lesions to detect malignant transformation is suggested as prognosis of lung lesions are worse in comparison to laryngeal papillomas.
