This paper reports a single case of pulmonary endometriosis presenting with catamenial hemoptysis in a woman, where the diagnosis was established histologically. The authors describe management using video-assisted thoracic surgery with successful resection of the localized lesion, framed as a way to avoid adverse effects of long-term hormone therapy in women of childbearing years. The main limitation is that the evidence is limited to an individual case report, which cannot establish general effectiveness or comparative outcomes. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses specifically on pulmonary endometriosis treated by video-assisted thoracic surgery for catamenial hemoptysis.

Abstract

Pulmonary endometriosis is a disease in which uterine endometrial cells with stromal components grow in the pulmonary parenchymal tissues or pleura. Surgical resection is considered an effective and radical treatment for pulmonary endometriosis to avoid the adverse effects of long-term hormone therapy in young women of childbearing years with a localized abnormal lesion. We report a case of pulmonary endometriosis with catamenial hemoptysis, an uncommon result of this disease, which was diagnosed histologically and treated successfully by video-assisted thoracic surgery.
