Recurrent respiratory papilloma is a disease process that has significant
implications for the patient as well as socioeconomic implications as the disease is
costly both in individual and societal terms. The pediatrician plays an essential role in
both the diagnosis and management of children with RRP. Only through thorough
knowledge and astute observation can delay in diagnosis be avoided, appropriate
referral initiated, and suffering of this disease alleviated.
