Catamenial hemoptysis was diagnosed using chest computed tomography and bronchoscopic examination during menstruation. The patient was managed successfully with wedge resection and has been free of recurrence for 5 years. We suggest that surgery is an effective treatment, and complete resection with accurate localization is important for the prevention of recurrence.\n-\nReferences\n- 1 Joseph J, Sahn SA.
