Pulmonary manifestations of chronic HPV infection in patients with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis.

ABSTRACT: Human papillomavirus (HPV) types 6 and 11 can infect the squamous epithelium of the respiratory tract. Up to 8·9% of patients with HPV-associated recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) have pulmonary involvement. Pulmonary manifestations of HPV infection are associated with considerable morbidity, in part because treatment options and management guidelines are lacking. Patients with pulmonary RRP have a 32-times increased lifetime risk of malignant transformation compared with the overall RRP population. We review the clinical and radiographic presentation, pathological features, and genetics of pulmonary RRP, and we provide management algorithms based on our clinical experience with this complex patient population. In patients with suspected pulmonary involvement, tissue-sparing procedures to address growing lesions might be warranted given the chronicity and multifocality of the disease over a patient's lifetime. However, malignant transformation of pulmonary lesion(s) warrants standard-of-care treatment for primary lung squamous cell carcinoma. Large cohort studies are needed to understand the clinical course of pulmonary RRP and to identify molecular markers of increased risk of malignant transformation in order to develop guidelines for optimal and standardised surveillance and treatment.

Project description:Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is a non-malignant disease, characterized by the production of wart-like growths in the respiratory tract, affecting both young people and adults (juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis, JORRP, and adult-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis, AORRP, respectively). Infection caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) is known as the main factor involved in RRP development. Complications of RRP may rarely occur, including lung involvement and malignant transformation. The present systematic review aimed to evaluate the prevalence of severe complications, such as lung involvement and lung tumor in JORRP and AORRP patients, and assess the role of HPV genotypes in the progression of disease severity following the guideline for reporting systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA Statement). A total of 378 studies were found on PubMed and Scopus using the following MESH terms: "recurrent respiratory papillomatosis and lung tumor" and "pulmonary tumor and recurrent respiratory papillomatosis". Basing on inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 11 studies were included in the systematic review. We found a pooled prevalence of 8% (95% CI: 4-14%; I2: 87.5%) for lung involvement in RRP patients. In addition, we found a pooled risk difference of 5% in lung involvement between JORRP and AORRP (95% CI: -7-18%; I2: 85.6%, p-value: 0.41). Among patients with lung involvement, we observed a pooled prevalence of lung tumor of 4% (95% CI:1-7%; I2: 67.1%) and a pooled prevalence mortality for this group of 4% (95% CI:2-6%; I2: 0%). Overall, the positivity rate for HPV-6 and -11 in patients with RRP was 91%. Considering only cases with pulmonary involvement, the pooled prevalence for HPV-11 was 21% (95% CI: 5-45%; I2: 77.2%). Our results evidenced a low/middle risk of pulmonary involvement and lung tumor in JORRP and AORRP patients, with an increased risk for HPV-11-positive patients. Further studies should be performed to improve knowledge and adopt preventive measures to contrast the progression to severe diseases in RRP patients.
