Abstract
Laryngeal papillomatosis is a serious and potentially life-threatening disease. Like other HPV-induced lesions, these papillomas show an unpredictable pattern of active disease and remissions. The mechanism of benign tumor-induction by the virus, and the possible mechanism of conversion to a malignant lesion after radiation therapy is unknown. Surgery, possibly in conjunction with interferon therapy, is the best course of management at this time.Entities:
