Abstract EN
Objectives.
The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiological, diagnostic, and therapeutic aspects of adult laryngeal papillomatosis in Senegal.
Patients and Methods.
This is a retrospective descriptive study of patients aged above 18 years with laryngeal papillomatosis and followed at the ENT department of the NUH of Fann between 01 January 2009 and 31 December 2018.
Results.
The mean age at diagnosis was 37.74 years and a sex ratio of 0.93.
The 20–29 age group was the most represented (45.2%).
The average consultation delay was 8.34 years.
All patients had dysphonia at the moment of the diagnostic and in 35.5% of cases, and it was associated with laryngeal dyspnea.
Glottis localization was present in all our patients, i.e., 100% of the cases.
A tracheotomy was performed in 9.67% of cases.
All of our patients have had their papilloma peeled per endoscopic with tweezers.
No cases of malignant degeneration were found in our study.
Conclusion.
Laryngeal papillomatosis is the most common benign tumor of the larynx in both children and adults.
Despite the progress of endoscopy and antiviral treatments, its treatment poses many problems in our undermedicalized countries.
