Dr Ronald Chin’s Explanation Of Laryngeal Papillomatosis
People with certain types of HPV can develop papillomatosis. The disorder causes small, noncancerous tumors to form inside your vocal box and larynx. The HPV infection causes benign growths in the airway including vocal folds. Type 6 and 11 HPV are the most common reasons behind laryngeal papillomatosis.
This is the most common laryngeal tumor in children. Its symptoms are hoarseness, inspiratory stridor, and continued growth, which may lead to life-threatening airway obstruction. Your doctor does a laryngoscopy to see inside your throat and nose to diagnose you.
Its treatments include microlaryngeal surgery, laser therapy, acyclovir, interferon, and photodynamic therapy.
