Abstract:
Recurrent laryngeal papillomatosis (RRLP) which is characterized by wart like growths in the larynx is a rare benign disease seen in children and young adults and a few cases are reported in old aged adults. The spread of RRLP throughout the respiratory tract occurs rarely; and involvement of the distal bronchi, bronchioles, and lung parenchyma is very rare. We report a case of tracheobronchial and pulmonary spread of RRLP in a 70-year-old man after two previous surgeries. Despite the rarity of this disease in adults, the correct diagnosis may be suggested by a characteristic combination of clinical, radiographic, and pathologic features.
