He had undergone several endoscopic procedures for resection and laser ablation of the papillomas and had been treated with intravenous cidofovir, an antiviral drug, with some improvement. However, he recently developed mediastinal and right hilar adenopathy, which was biopsied, revealing follicular hyperplasia without malignancy. He is being followed with multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) scans of the chest and airway to evaluate the status of his tracheobronchial papillomas, pulmonary cavities, and bronchiectasis. </p>Wednesday, 27 Jul 2011 10:04:30 GMT
