  • Title: Pulmonary endometriosis causing haemoptysis. Report of a case treated with lobectomy.
    Author: Kristianen K, Fjeld NB.
    Journal: Scand J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 1993; 27(2):113-5. PubMed ID: 8211006.
    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.
