Abstract | Laryngeal papillomatosis (LP) iis the most frequent bening neoplasm of the larynx. Clinically it causes hoarseess and upper airway obstruction. Though the LP has the potential to endanger life by asphyxiation, this unfortunate outcome is extremely rare. We report the case of a 19-year-old female who suddenly died of asphyxiation caused by massive LP. | |
