    Author: Nakashima Y, Shoji F, Osoegawa A, Yoshino I, Maehara Y.
    Journal: Surg Today; 2011 May; 41(5):701-3. PubMed ID: 21533945.
    Abstract:
    A 22-year-old woman presenting with repetitive hemoptysis was clinically diagnosed based on the fact that her symptoms corresponded with her menstruation cycle. Computed tomography revealed a specifically localized opacity in the right middle lobe of the lung at the time of each episode of hemoptysis. Following a right middle lobectomy, which was performed under video thoracoscopy, the symptoms subsided. We also briefly herein review the 73 similar cases with catamenial hemoptysis that have been reported since 1956.
