Abstract
We report a case of an apparently healthy 27-year-old man with a fatal course of papillomatosis, originating in the distal part of the esophagus and spreading into the main and intermediate bronchus. Human papillomavirus type 11, usually associated with juvenile laryngeal papillomatosis and genital condyloma acuminatum, was detected in the papillomas. In spite of treatment with CO2-laser evaporation of the papillomas, and with systemic as well as topical interferon, VP-16 and bleomycin, the papillomatosis progressed relentlessly during almost 2 years, and finally caused the death of the patient. We have no explanation for the malignant course of wart virus infection in this young man.
