Recurrent laryngeal papillomatosis is a rare but significant pediatric condition caused by human papillomavirus types 6 and 11. Characterized by the repeated growth of benign exophytic lesions in the respiratory tract, recurrent laryngeal papillomatosis poses a considerable burden due to its recurrent nature, frequent need for surgical intervention, and potential impact on respiratory function. This study aims to describe the epidemiological profile of pediatric recurrent laryngeal papillomatosis in the Republic of Moldova, identify high-risk groups, and explore the socioeconomic implications of the disease.
