Popis: INTRODUCTION Laryngeal papillomatosis (LP) is the most common benign neoplasm affecting the upper respiratory tract mucosa in children. The most common genotypes of HPV associated with LP are types 6 and 11. Methods: Among 187 patients identified in our institution with LP, four cases showed malignant transformation to invasive squamous carcinoma. Results: These patients had tumors with HPV viruses that showed high expression of oncogene E6 and E7 and low expression of E2. Conclusion: Malignant transformation of LP is associated with oncogenic expression of E6 and E7.
