  • Title: [Endobronchial capillary hemangioma: a very rare cause of massive hemoptysis].
    Author: Özyılmaz E, Yunsel D, Hanta İ, Kuleci S, Kocabaş A.
    Journal: Tuberk Toraks; 2012; 60(1):78-80. PubMed ID: 22554374.
    Abstract:
    Tracheal capillary hemangioma is a very rare benign tumor of trachea which may present as massive hemoptysis. Minor to massive hemoptysis can be observed in these patients. Due to its small size and tracheal localization, diagnosis cannot be easily performed by using radiological investigations. Fifty-years-old male patient who was diagnosed as tracheal capillary hemangioma with bronchoscopic biopsy was presented in this case report. According to our knowledge, this is the eighth case report in the world literature. Tracheal capillary hemangioma must be kept in mind in patients with massive hemoptysis with normal radiologic features and bronchoscopic procedures (excision, argon, laser etc.) should be the first choice of therapy when diagnosed.
