We communicate the management of three clinical cases of laryngeal papillomatosis in adults. The first case, a 75-year-old woman, 4 times under surgical intervention with “cold surgery”, vaccinated with Silgard. The second case, a 55-year-old woman, also 4 times under surgical intervention receives Gardasil after the last intervention.
