Abstract

Inverted papillomas are rare tumors in the pediatric population and have not been reported in children less than two years. These tumors may produce respiratory distress in patients, particularly if they ectopically occur in the airway. Human papilloma virus is one of the known etiologies for many head and neck neoplasms including inverted papillomas and squamous papillomas. We report a child who was surgically treated at fifteen months of age for inverted papilloma of the pharynx who subsequently developed squamous papilloma of the larynx which persisted as a recurrent respiratory papillomatosis. This is the first such reported case to our knowledge.
