Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis

[Hina Muqadas]

Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis is a rare, noncancerous (benign) tumor of the respiratory system, commonly affecting the voice box (larynx).
Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis is caused by human papillomavirus. This tumor is most often diagnosed when it occurs in the voice box as laryngeal papillomas. Although laryngeal papillomas can occur at any age, they most commonly affect children aged 1 to 4 years.
