ABSTRACT

Tracheal papillomavirus (TP) due to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a noncancerous disorder characterized by papillomatous growths in the epithelium of the respiratory tract, including the trachea. A 12-year-old female was hospitalized at our hospital after presenting with a 6-month history of dry cough and intermittent dyspnea when talking and swallowing. The physical examination was routine. Under general anesthesia, this patient got cold therapy and a non-selective type of debridement, and postoperative pathology was revealed within the tracheal villoma.
