Laryngeal papillomatosis with subsequent development of papillomata in the paranasal sinuses – is it seeding by intubation?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 June 2007
Abstract
Concern has been expressed regarding the seeding of viral DNA, in laryngeal papillomatosis, to other sites in the respiratory tract during treatment. Controversy exists regarding the concept of seeding by the laser plume. However, instrumentation and anaesthetic intubation are also strongly implicated in seeding DNA to the proximal respiratory tract. No cases of recurrent laryngeal papillomatosis and subsequent papilloma in the paranasal sinuses have been reported.
