  "term": "RRP",
  "field": "Oncology and biomedicine",
  "definition": "A rare condition in which wart-like growths called papillomas grow in the respiratory tract (air passages leading from the nose and mouth into the lungs). The papillomas most often grow in the larynx (voice box) and vocal cords. They can grow quickly, and they often grow back after they have been removed by surgery. Signs and symptoms of RRP include hoarseness, chronic cough, swallowing problems, and breathing problems, which may sometimes be life-threatening. RRP is caused by infection with certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV). It can occur in both children and adults. Also called recurrent respiratory papillomatosis.",
