Abstract:
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.
