Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis is the most common neoplasm of the larynx in childhood. Extension into lung parenchyma occurs in less than 1% of patients and has a low risk of malignant transformation. Treatment options for intrapulmonary spread have shown limited success. We describe a case of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis with extensive parenchymal involvement and adenosquamous carcinoma in a 14‐year‐old girl. © 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
