We report the history of an 8‐year‐old girl who was treated for suspected lung lesions of respiratory papillomatosis with Indole‐3‐Carbinol, local and intravenous injections of Cidofovir for 27 months. This is the first report where a complete cure of the lung lesions occurred in a child, and was sustained for at least 24 months. J. Med. Virol. 75:332–335, 2005. © 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
