Abstract
Laryngeal papillomatosis (LP) is the most common benign laryngeal tumor in children, but it can affect both children and adults. Although benign, this condition still remains hard to treat and negatively affects patient quality of life as it can spread to the adjacent respiratory tract, recurs, and requires repeated medical intervention. As the surgical removal of papillomas with the preservation of normal mucosa is the only standard of care, there is still no standard for adjuvant therapy. In this case report, we describe the course of recurrent laryngeal papillomatosis in a Caucasian male from 2009 to 2016 and the positive response to dsRNA-based antiviral drug treatment in the complete resolvement of the condition.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) types 6 and 11 can infect the squamous epithelium of the respiratory tract. Up to 8·9% of patients with HPV-associated recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) have pulmonary involvement. Pulmonary manifestations of HPV infection are associated with considerable morbidity, in part because treatment options and management guidelines are lacking. Patients with pulmonary RRP have a 32-times increased lifetime risk of malignant transformation compared with the overall RRP population. We review the clinical and radiographic presentation, pathological features, and genetics of pulmonary RRP, and we provide management algorithms based on our clinical experience with this complex patient population. In patients with suspected pulmonary involvement, tissue-sparing procedures to address growing lesions might be warranted given the chronicity and multifocality of the disease over a patient's lifetime. However, malignant transformation of pulmonary lesion(s) warrants standard-of-care treatment for primary lung squamous cell carcinoma. Large cohort studies are needed to understand the clinical course of pulmonary RRP and to identify molecular markers of increased risk of malignant transformation in order to develop guidelines for optimal and standardised surveillance and treatment.

Infantile recurrent respiratory papillomatosis: review of adjuvant therapies. The Journal of Laryngology & Otology 2021; 135:958-963.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis is a potentially life-threatening condition characterised by the growth of exophytic lesions within the larynx and trachea. The principal aim of management is maintenance of an adequate airway by surgical debulking. Several adjuvant therapies have been used to varying effect to reduce the burden of this disease and increase the interval between debulking procedures. The most severe cases present in children aged under three years, who are therefore most likely to need adjuvant therapies. The current evidence base on adjuvant treatments relating to children who present aged under three years has been reviewed. METHODS A literature review of articles in Cochrane, PubMed and Embase databases was carried out. Given the rarity of the condition in this age group, all the literature relates to case reports and case series. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION The following adjuvant therapies have been used in children who presented under three years of age: quadrivalent human papilloma virus vaccine, intralesional cidofovir, pegylated interferon, alpha-interferon, cimetidine and cetuximab.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To present an uncommon but serious, recently identified complication of checkpoint inhibitor therapy in a patient treated with pembrolizumab infusion for disseminated recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP). METHODS Case report. RESULTS A 43-year-old woman with underlying asthma developed acute hypoxic respiratory failure within 24 hours of her third infusion of pembrolizumab for treatment of intractable, disseminated recurrent respiratory papillomatosis. Pulmonary function testing revealed a severe intra-thoracic obstructive ventilatory defect. Discontinuation of pembrolizumab, ventilatory support, and treatment with systemic and inhaled corticosteroids resulted in resolution of respiratory failure; however, her underlying asthma remains poorly controlled. CONCLUSION To our knowledge, this case is the first report of pembrolizumab-induced obstructive respiratory failure in a patient being treated for RRP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is a rare, potentially life-threatening, disease that impacts the voice, breathing, and quality of life of patients. Frequent surgical interventions may be needed to control symptoms. We examined the safety and efficacy of utilizing parenteral bevacizumab in the management of severe RRP in adults. STUDY DESIGN This is a retrospective review of clinical management approaches in a group of patients with severe RRP defined as having a high disease burden, frequent need for debridement, and/or tracheobronchial disease. Patients were initially treated with 15 mg/kg of bevacizumab at 3-week intervals. Bevacizumab dosing and frequency was then individually titrated down. RESULTS Fourteen adults received a median of 8.5 (range 2-17) bevacizumab infusions over approximately 24 months. All had a history of laryngeal RRP with 6/14 having additional tracheobronchial lesions. Patients required a median of 4 (range 2-11) procedures in the year prior to treatment. Only 3/10 (30%) patients who continued therapy required any additional procedures. Bevacizumab administration was generally well tolerated, with four patients discontinuing therapy. Medical reasons included severe epistaxis and hypertension and thrombocytopenia in an individual with systemic lupus erythematosus. Common side effects included hypertension (grade 2), headache (grades 1-2), elevated creatinine (grades 1-2), and epistaxis (grade 3). CONCLUSIONS Intravenous bevacizumab for the primary treatment of severe RRP in adults appears clinically effective and safe. Expected and typically mild side effects related to bevacizumab were observed. Continued investigation of bevacizumab through a prospective clinical trial is warranted. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 4.

Abstract
Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) consist of benign tumours along the airway caused by human papillomavirus infection. Papillomas may cause changes in phonation and obstruct the airway. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the different surgical and adjuvant therapies available for the treatment of this condition reported between 2014-2018. A PubMed search was performed for RRP treatment articles published between 2014 -2018. Forty articles that encompassed 1425 patients with RRP met the criteria. Of these, 24 articles evaluate the use of adjuvant therapies such as bevacizumab, human papillomavirus vaccine and cidofovir. There has been an increase in adjuvant therapy options for RRP in the literature in recent years. An awareness of these options highlights gaps and opportunities in the care of these patients, opens the door to new protocols to control disease and increase intersurgical intervals, and guides us towards new management paradigms in the future.

Abstract
Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) remains a challenging disease afflicting children and adults, resulting in an estimated $120 million per year in United States healthcare-related costs, with annual costs per patient approaching $60,000. Although the prevalence of RRP has declined, RRP remains the most common benign laryngeal neoplasm in children. RRP is unique in its high rate of multisite recurrence, its high burden on patient quality of life, and its high associated healthcare costs. This article summarizes current understanding of the natural history and quality of life burden of RRP, and basic science advancements in prevention and treatment.
