摘要
Hemoptysis is an alarming symptom caused by diverse etiologies. Dieulafoy’s disease is an uncommon vascular anomaly commonly described as a cause of gastrointestinal bleed. It is characterized by abnormal dysplastic submucosal artery with mucosal branches that can lead to recurrent bleeding. Herein, we present a rare case of bronchial dieulafoy’s disease (BDD) presenting as recurrent hemoptysis, also highlighting important aspects of its management.
