Although the tumors can grow anywhere in the respiratory tract, they most commonly grow in the larynx (voice box)—a condition called laryngeal papillomatosis.

Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is a benign growth of upper airway. It is thought to be associated with Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) type 6 and 11.

These lesions tend to occur in the airway where the respiratory lining transitions into squamous (skin-type) lining such as on the superior and undersurface of the true vocal folds.

Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), a virus that causes skin warts and genital warts. Infants may get infected by this virus as they pass through the birth canal if their mother has an HPV infection of her genital region.
