Case Report: Pulmonary Papillomatosis in a Patient Presenting with Cough and Hemoptysis.

A previously healthy patient was seen in the Emergency Department for evaluation of a one-month history of cough and one-day history of hemoptysis. A computed tomography scan of the thorax found a mass on the right lower pulmonary lobe and a mass on the left upper lobe. A biopsy specimen of the right lobe lung mass, obtained during bronchoscopy, demonstrated papilloma. This case report, from a pulmonologist's perspective, includes a comprehensive review of the patient's clinical presentation and outcome, as well as a discussion of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis.
