Abstract

ABSTRACT Thoracic endometriosis is a rare form of endometriosis. It is divided into pleural and pulmonary forms, and pleural endometriosis is more common. Our patient was a 33-year-old patient who had been complaining of hemoptysis due to a menstrual cycle for 4 months and had no comorbidities. Computed tomography of the thorax during menstruation when the patient complained of hemoptysis showed a ground-glass density in the upper lobe of the right lung, which was significantly reduced on computed tomography after the end of menstruation.
