  • Title: Gastroesophageal reflux presented with haemoptysis and carinal erythematous lesion resembling in situ carcinoma.
    Author: Bouros D, Tzanakis N, Psathakis K, Patsourakis G, Rokkas T.
    Journal: Respir Med; 1998 Oct; 92(10):1251-2. PubMed ID: 9926157.
    Abstract:
    Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is often associated with respiratory disorders. We report an unusual case of GER presented with haemoptysis. On fibreoptic bronchoscopy (FFB) a focal erythematous lesion of the mucosa of the main carina was found. Repeated FFB and biopsy excluded in situ neoplasm. Pharmacological treatment of GER with sisapride and ranitidine resulted in complete remission of the bronchial lesions. To the best of our knowledge haemoptysis with bronchoscopic lesions due to the gastroesophageal reflux has not been described previously.
