Abstract
Pulmonary endometriosis is a disease in which uterine endometrial cells with stromal components grow in the pulmonary parenchymal tissues or pleura. Surgical resection is considered an effective and radical treatment for pulmonary endometriosis to avoid the adverse effects of long-term hormone therapy in young women of childbearing years with a localized abnormal lesion. We report a case of pulmonary endometriosis with catamenial hemoptysis, an uncommon result of this disease, which was diagnosed histologically and treated successfully by video-assisted thoracic surgery.
