Pulmonary Endometriosis Causing Haemoptysis: Report of a Case Treated with Lobectomy

Knut Ivan Kristiansen, Nils B. Fjeld

Open publisher page 36 citations

Abstract

A 24-year-old woman with catamenial haemoptysis was treated with the antioestrogenic drug danazol for suspected pulmonary endometriosis. The haemoptysis then ceased, but rapidly recurred when the patient discontinued the medication 3 months later because of severe side effects. Lobectomy was performed, and the diagnosis histologically confirmed, 14 months after the onset of symptoms. Thereafter the patient was free from haemoptysis.
