What is Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis Treated With Radical Photodynamic Therapy about?

INTRODUCTION: Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is a chronic disease that results in papilloma lesions with various forms of clinical presentations. These lesions can appear throughout the respiratory tract, often presenting on vocal folds or larynx. It is caused by human papilloma virus types 6 and 11. There is no cure for RRP, and the current standard of care is surgical therapy with goal of complete removal of papillomas and preservation of normal structures. Here we present a case in which a patient with severe recurrent respiratory papillomatosis is treated using radical photodynamic therapy (PDT). ## CASE PRESENTATION: A 25 year old male with no past medical history presented with shortness of breath and dysphonia as a teenager. He was found to have RRP. As a result of his condition, he had undergone debridement every 3 months to resect papillomas and improve airway obstruction.
