Abstract

Abstract : Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection of the genital tract is associated with the development of genital warts. A causal link between maternal HPV infection and development of laryngeal papillomatosis in the offspring has been proposed. We report a case of pulmonary cystic disease, a rare but serious complication of laryngeal papillomatosis in a child, following maternal genital warts.
