A CLOSE clinical relationship between juvenile laryngeal papillomas and verrucas has been noted for many years. As early as 1871, Morrell MacKenzie1observed the frequent association of skin warts and laryngeal papillomas.

The purpose of this paper is to report a case, somewhat similar to that of Hajek,4which lends support to the close relationship of warts and juvenile laryngeal papillomas.
