This 1999 Yonsei Medicine case report describes a 23-year-old single woman with hemoptysis that occurred in association with menstruation, diagnosed as parenchymal pulmonary endometriosis. The authors report that she had previously been treated effectively with hormone therapy for 3 months but chose surgical resection because of the high cost of continued hormone therapy; imaging showed haziness on chest radiograph and ground-glass appearance on CT in right lower-lobe segments. She underwent a basal segmentectomy, with no recurrence of menstruation-associated hemoptysis reported after surgery. The paper is a single-case report, so its findings are limited to this individual. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically a case of parenchymal pulmonary endometriosis presenting with catamenial hemoptysis.

Abstract

Pulmonary Endometriosis is a rare disease entity and we report a 23-year-old single woman with a history of hemoptysis in association with menstruation. She was previously treated effectively with hormone therapy for 3 months, but decided to undergo surgical resection because of the high cost of hormone therapy. Radiographic finding of the chest showed haziness in the right lower lung field, and chest CT showed a ground-glass appearance in the posterobasal and laterobasal segment. The patient underwent basal segmentectomy of the right lower lobe. There was no incidence of hemoptysis during her menstruation following the operation.
