Abstract
These lesions are frequent in the larynx of adults. They also present in children where, because of the much narrower diameter of the airway, the symptoms are more serious, and treatment is more urgent and difficult. It is thus customary to divide the condition on the basis of the age of the patient into juvenile and adult types. In some juvenile cases the papillomas persist into adult life. The pathological changes are similar in all types, and will be described first before a discussion of the natural history of the lesion.
