This case report presents a pulmonary arteriovenous malformation as the cause of catamenial haemoptysis, questioning the assumption that pulmonary endometriosis is the sole cause.

Abstract

Since the first report of pulmonary endometriosis as a cause of catamenial haemoptysis all cases have been assumed to be due to pulmonary endometriosis, even in the absence of histopathological proof. A case is presented where the histological findings were of a pulmonary arteriovenous malformation.
