The authors agree that minimally invasive surgical excision should be considered a treatment option for catamenial hemoptysis when the ectopic endometrial implant can be localized.

Abstract

To the Editor: We would like to thank Dr Ryu (1) for his interest in our report (2). We agree with Dr Ryu that mini-invasive surgical technique should be contemplated as a treatment ‘option’ for patients suffering form catamenial haemoptysis. Hormonal manipulation has been successfully used but it presents with high recurrence rate (3). In cases where ectopic endometrial implant could be localised, excision is diagnostic and curative.
