Sudden death caused by laryngeal papillomatosis.

Laryngeal papillomatosis (LP) is the most frequent benign neoplasm of the larynx. Clinically it causes hoarseness and upper airway obstruction. Though the LP has the potential to endanger life by asphyxiation, this unfortunate outcome is extremely rare. We report the case of a 19-year-old female who suddenly died of asphyxiation caused by massive LP.
