Laryngeal papilloma is a common disease. A few years ago, the only possible method of treating the problem was surgery, and over time, conservative methods of treating the disease appeared.
Causes
Nipples in the neck occur due to the development of connective tissue and epithelium. These formations are benign in nature. However, this does not mean that they should be ignored.
Externally, the growths look like roosters of red or pink hue. Individual copies are rarely displayed. There are often multiple formations.
They appear on the tongue, directly in the larynx, palate and vocal cords, in the arches of the tonsils, in the pharynx and trachea.
The greatest risk is papillae in the throat, which interfere with the normal functioning of the airway. These are growths in the bronchi and trachea. They lead to serious consequences and complications.
Papules appear in the throat if HPV is activated.
This happens under the following conditions:
- the presence of infectious diseases such as smallpox, measles.
- reduced immunity;
- polluted atmosphere in the residential area;
- the presence of chronic diseases of the nose, throat and ears.
- volume of the vocal cords.
There is a concept of "youth papilloma". They suffer from young children. With this, multiple nipples in the throat close the lumen in the larynx, which interferes with the normal respiratory process.
Adults with HPV in the trachea or bronchi can develop into a malignancy, provided there is no cure. However, even surgery does not guarantee that the formations will not recur.

At an early stage, the problem may not manifest itself.
But as the warts grow, symptoms appear:

Another division is based on the degree of papilloma development:
- a limited selection, when the spread of the formations occurs in a specific area of the neck.
- common form, when the nipples are scattered everywhere.
- blocker type. In this case, the growths interfere with the passage of air through the airway.
Depending on the condition of the respiratory system and the presence of symptomatic manifestations, the disease can be:
- First reciprocal degree. It is characterized by slight difficulty in inhaling and exhaling, the appearance of hoarseness.
- Second reciprocal degree. Shortness of breath occurs, the body ceases to have enough oxygen, a constant feeling of anxiety appears, cold sweat appears and the skin begins to turn blue.
- Third degree, when there is a complete cessation of breathing. The patient loses consciousness due to suffocation.
Depending on the presence of oncogenic properties, the papilla in the neck can be:
- naive;
- malignant.
Detection of papillomas
Tumors can be located either directly in the throat, in any of its parts or in the larynx. Which of these are dangerous?
These growths on the throat affect the tonsils. There are papillae in the soft palate or in the side walls. Rarely can formations be found in the vocal cords. Do not confuse nipples with tonsils and congestion.
