Successful Treatment of Adult-Onset Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis with CO2 Laser and Photodynamic Therapy

الملخص EN

Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis is a noninvasive benign epithelial tumor caused by human papillomavirus.

Clinically, it featured rapid growth, multifocus, and frequent recurrence.

Though a number of therapies have been investigated, the recurrence after treatment is always a challenge.

In this report, we describe a 27-year-old male patient with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis who was treated with CO2 laser therapy followed by 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT).

There was no adverse reaction after treatment and no recurrence during the follow-up time.
