Abstract

Catamenial haemoptysis is a rare condition caused by thoracic endometriosis that presents as tracheobronchial or pulmonary endometriosis. The authors report a 31-year-old woman with a 1-year history of catamenial haemoptysis, which was diagnosed by chest CT scan during menses and treated successfully by means of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery of the solitary pulmonary lesion. There was no evidence of recurrence 6 months after the operation. The authors suggest that video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is an effective therapy for catamenial haemoptysis caused by localized peripheral pulmonary endometriosis.
