RESUMEN
La papilomatosis respiratoria recurrente es una neoplasia benigna infrecuente que, comúnmente, afecta la vía aérea superior con predilección por la laringe. El compromiso traqueobronquial aislado es muy raro. El diagnóstico y el tratamiento de esta enfermedad constituyen un desafío, debido a su manifestación clínica inespecífica y su naturaleza recurrente. Se presenta a un varón de 6 años con diagnóstico de asma refractario al tratamiento, sin historia ni evidencia de papilomatosis laríngea. El examen endoscópico reveló papilomatosis traqueobronquial extensa, y la tomografia computada, compromiso pulmonar. Recibió terapia adyuvante con bevacizumab endovenoso, con muy buena respuesta. Se alerta a los pediatras para considerar esta rara neoplasia traqueobronquial en todo niño con síntomas de asma atípicos o que no mejoran con el tratamiento médico convencional.
ABSTRACT
Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis is an infrequent benign neoplasm that commonly affects the upper airway with a predilection for the larynx. Isolated tracheobronchial involvement is very rare. Diagnosis and treatment of this disease is a challenge due to its non-specific clinical manifestation and its recurrent nature. We present a 6-year-old male with a diagnosis of asthma refractory to treatment, without history or evidence of laryngeal papillomatosis. The endoscopic examination revealed extensive tracheobronchial papillomatosis and the computed tomography, pulmonary involvement. He received adjuvant therapy with intravenous Bevacizumab with very good response. We alert pediatricians to consider this rare tracheobronchial neoplasm in all children with atypical asthma symptoms or in those who do not improve with conventional medical treatment.
