This case report describes recurrent catamenial hemothorax, a pattern of pleural bleeding timed to menstruation, presented as part of a pulmonary case series. The paper is limited in scope to a single clinical narrative/case report format and does not include a broader study population, comparative analysis, or systematic evaluation. The report’s main evidence is the observed recurrence in relation to the menstrual cycle, without broader mechanistic or epidemiologic conclusions. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.
