title: [Laryngeal papilloma in the material of ENT department, Gdańsk, 1965-1994].
abstract: Laryngeal papilloma is a non-malignant epithelial neoplasm of viral etiology. The disease occurs in children and in adults, and- apart from the same microscopic structure--its clinical course is different in those age groups. The authors presented a material of 210 patients with laryngeal papilloma: 76 children and 134 adults. In both groups a clinical analysis with regard to symptomatology, therapy, recurrences, complications and microscopic structure was made. Our observations show that clinical significance of laryngeal papilloma results from the tendency for recurrences and extralaryngeal spread by transmissibility--in childhood, and from the possibility of malignant degeneration--in adults.
