Abstract

Parenchymal pulmonary endometriosis is a rare cause in patients with hemoptysis, dyspnea, or chest pain, especially. We describe a woman with recurrent hemoptysis during menstruation. Embolization of endometrial tissue from the uterus to the lung via the pulmonary arteries has been proposed for the mechanism of the development of parenchymal endometriosis. The site of origin of hemoptysis was localized on chest. Chest CT scanning appears to be method of the correct intrapulmonary localization of the correct intrapulmonary localization of this disease and then treated with Danazol, Gestrinone or GnRH agonist.

Key Words: Hemoptysis, Parenchymal pulmonary endometriosis, Danazol, Gestrinone, GnRH agonist
