Some manifestations of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection are indolent and self-limiting, while others cause considerable morbidity. In recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP), low-risk HPV types within the respiratory tract cause wart-like lesions, typically on vocal folds. The most common symptom is hoarseness, but stridor may also occur due to airway obstruction. In a minority of patients, the disease becomes aggressive and may undergo malignant transformation. Medical records were reviewed from all patients (n=32) treated for juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JORRP) between 1975 and 1994 at Helsinki University Hospital. Eighteen patients participated in a study assessing the effect of JORRP on adult voice quali...
