A papilloma in the throat, especially on the vocal cords, manifests as hoarseness or changes in the voice and difficulty swallowing (especially when large warts or condylomas appear on the throat).
Rare signs of HPV infection are a feeling of a foreign body in the throat and papillomas on the tonsils.
Laryngeal papillomas most commonly result in hoarseness, especially when the warts are on the vocal cords. When large papillomas are present, characteristic symptoms may include coughing and difficulty breathing.
