Abstract

We report two cases of recurrent layngeal papillomatosis in women who subsequently developed squamous cell carcinoma as they approached the climateric. The role of human papilloma virus (HPV) and oestrogen metabolism is outlined. The use of indoles from cruciferous vegetables is also discussed.
