RRP - A rare condition in which wart-like growths called papillomas grow in the airways (airways leading from the nose and mouth to the lungs). The papillomas most commonly grow in the larynx (larynx) and vocal cords. They can grow quickly and often grow back after they are removed through surgery. Signs and symptoms of RRP include hoarseness, chronic cough, difficulty swallowing, and difficulty breathing, which can sometimes be life-threatening. RRP is caused by infection with certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV). It can occur in both children and adults. Also called recurrent respiratory papillomatosis
