  • Title: Tracheal papillomatosis treated with Nd-Yag laser resection.
    Author: Hunt JM, Pierce RJ.
    Journal: Aust N Z J Med; 1988 Oct; 18(6):781-4. PubMed ID: 3242464.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of tracheal papillomatosis in a 69-year-old woman who presented with stridor and functional evidence of large airway obstruction. She was successfully treated by endobronchial resection using a Neodymium Yag laser. This provided lasting symptomatic relief of dyspnea. Respiratory papillomatosis is a disease predominantly of the childhood larynx and its presentation with predominant tracheal involvement late in life is extremely uncommon. Laser therapy provides an extremely effective treatment modality for this condition.
