This case report describes a young female with confirmed pelvic endometriosis who experienced hemoptysis coincident with menstruation, which resolved with Danazol treatment, inferring pulmonary endometriosis.

One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works

Abstract

Pulmonary endometriosis is a rare entity and there is little information regarding its treatment. We report a young female who developed hemoptysis in coincidence with menstruation. Pelvic endometriosis was confirmed histologically and pulmonary endometriosis was inferred. Treatment with Danazol led to suppression of both menstruation and hemoptysis, thus confirming the clinical diagnosis.
