  • Laryngeal papillomatosis = Papilomatoza grla
    Hočevar-Boltežar, Irena ; Žargi, Miha, 1946-
    Background. Laryngeal papillomatosis is a rare disease of the upper respiratory tract, which may have a dramatic course. The results of many studies have proved a viral etiology, but the precise mode ... of the virus transmission remains indistinct. Surgery is the most successful mode of treatment. Adjuvant therapy is indicated only in an aggressive form of the disease. Patients. In the last 23 years, 136 patients have been treated for laryngeal papillomatosis at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Cervicofacial Surgery in Ljubljana. All patients were treated surgically; since 1995, CO2 laser has been used. Eighteen patients with aggressive diseasereceived adjuvant therapy. Only in 2.2% of patients was tracheotomy necessary. In 9.6% of patients, laryngeal scarring occurred as a result of repeated surgical procedures. In 2.2%, malignant alteration of laryngeal papillomatosis developed. Conclusions. The outcome of treatment of laryngeal papillomatosis in Ljubljana is comparable to the results of other centres. As carcinoma may develop, although very rarely, more than 10 years after the onset of laryngeal papillomatosis, all patients must be followed carefully.
