Laryngeal papilloma: A warty growth in the
lary
nx, usually on
the vocal cords. Persistent hoarseness is a common symptom.
Laryngeal papillomatosis involves numerous warty growths
on the vocal cords, most commonly in young children.
Recurrences are, unfortunately, frequent. Remission may
occur after several years. The disease can be due to the
baby contracting human papilloma virus (HPV) during birth
through the vaginal canal from a mother with genital warts
(which are due to HPV). Each year, about 300 infants are
born with the virus on their vocal cords because of
maternal transmission.
Common Misspellings: laryngeal papilo, laryngeal papiloma, laryngeal pappomilla
