Abstract

Pulmonary endometriosis is a rare disorder. We report a case of a 38-year-old woman with a 10-year history of catamenial hemoptysis due to pulmonary endometriosis which was diagnosed by CT during menstruation and treated successfully by wedge-resection of the right middle lobe. Medical therapy with hormones was not performed. There is no evidence of recurrence 5 months after the operation.
