Key Clinical Message A 35‐year‐old male presented with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis. Human papillomavirus type 11 was detected from all sites of tumor tissue DNA by PCR. The pre‐surgery cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) viral load (3.33 × 103 copies/ng DNA) fell below the post‐surgical detection limits on achieving remission, suggesting cfDNA's potential as a biomarker.
