Although laryngeal papilloma is a benign tumor, it is difficult to control this disease because of the rapid recurrence after surgery. We reported a patient with recurrent laryngeal papilloma who responded well to a-interferon after laser surgery.
The patient was a 16-year-old man with a history of dyspnea and hoarseness. He underwent laser surgery three times, but the papilloma repeatedly relapsed. We treated him with intramuscular injection of α-interferon at a dosage of 3×106 IU twice a week for 1 year. Symptoms were rapidly relieved by this therapy. We conclude that α-interferon may be effective for recurrent laryngeal papilloma after laser surgery.
