Juvenile papillomatosis of the breast, also known as Swiss cheese disease, is a rare and benign proliferative disorder affecting young women. These patients tend to have a strong family history of cancer. The lesion typically presents as a localized mass without sharp borders. Clinical presentation resembles that of a precancerous lesion. For this reason, JP is often misdiagnosed in the preoperative period. However postoperative histopathological examination reveals distinct microscopic features, such as duct papillomatosis, cysts and sclerosing adenosis, which confirm the diagnosis of juvenile papillomatosis. We report two cases of juvenile papillomatosis. Both cases were preoperatively diagnosed as benign proliferative lesions with fibrocystic changes. However, after surgical excision, histopathological examination showed juvenile papillomatosis. Interestingly, both patients had a strong family history of breast cancer in both the paternal and maternal line. More research is needed to assess the correlation between a family history of breast cancer and the juvenile papillomatosis.

Introduction: Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is a chronic disease caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), characterized by recurrent papillomas in the respiratory tract. Presenting as either juvenile-onset RRP (JoRRP) or adult-onset RRP (AoRRP), the severity of the disease is subjective and unpredictable. Lack of curative therapies necessitates disease management involving repeated surgical removal of lesions.

Juvenile papillomatosis (JP) is a very rare benign proliferative breast disease, especially in young women under 30 years of age. Its etiology is not clear yet. Although some patients have breast cancer in their family history, up to 10% breast cancer can develop in the follow-up of JP patients.

Article Synopsis
- Infection with low-risk HPV types 6 and 11 can cause recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JoRRP) in children, which leads to benign growths in the larynx.
- A systematic review studied the effects of national HPV vaccination programs on the incidence and prevalence of JoRRP, analyzing data from four studies that included 622 patients from countries like Australia, New Zealand, and the U.S.
- Results showed a significant decline in JoRRP cases after vaccination, with higher vaccination rates linking to lower disease burden, highlighting the importance of widespread HPV vaccination for future health outcomes.
