Pulmonary complications of alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency are most commonly manifested by panlobular emphysema. This report describes histologically proven bronchiectasis in a 21 year old man with massive haemoptysis and homozygous deficiency of alpha 1-antitrypsin. Neither panlobular emphysema nor cirrhosis of the liver were present. Bronchiectasis must be considered part of the spectrum of the pulmonary pathology that may be encountered in individuals with alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency.

The case history is presented of a 32 year old black man who developed haemoptysis leading to pulmonary haemorrhage and bilateral pulmonary infiltrates. He was found to have Kaposi's sarcoma of the lung with no evidence of skin or endobronchial lesions.

A 27 year old HIV infected man presented with two days of haemoptysis. Flexible bronchoscopy revealed a large carinal mass partially obstructing the left and right main stem bronchi. Rigid bronchoscopy was required to make the diagnosis of large cell immunoblastic lymphoma.

Atresia of the pulmonary veins of the left lung and the right upper lobe with moderate pulmonary hypertension was diagnosed in a 20 year old man presenting with exertional dyspnoea and haemoptysis. After left pneumonectomy gas exchange appeared to have improved. This was shown by improved arterial oxygen pressures during all steps of exercise in a cycle ergometer test in comparison with values obtained before surgery. This improvement could be entirely attributed to a decrease in physiological dead space ventilation.

The case history is described of an infant, with a thoracic foregut duplication cyst containing a perforated peptic ulcer, who presented with haemoptysis and respiratory distress. This presentation is discussed within the context of thoracic foregut duplications.
Thorax 1994 Mar
PMID:Foregut duplication cyst presenting as neonatal respiratory distress and haemoptysis. 820 90

A patient with congenital absence of a part of the inferior vena cava is described. This resulted in spontaneous rupture of a bronchial vein leading to massive haemoptysis.
Thorax 1993 Oct
PMID:Massive haemoptysis caused by congenital absence of a segment of inferior vena cava. 825 34

Since the first report of pulmonary endometriosis as a cause of catamenial haemoptysis all cases have been assumed to be due to pulmonary endometriosis, even in the absence of histopathological proof. A case is presented where the histological findings were of a pulmonary arteriovenous malformation.

PMID:Catamenial haemoptysis: a rare cause. 825 37

Three cases who presented with life threatening haemoptysis are reported, all of whom required surgery to control the bleeding. In all three patients chronic lung abscess was responsible for the haemoptysis. Even in the absence of typical clinical or radiographic features of an abscess this diagnosis should be considered in any patient presenting with life threatening haemoptysis.
Thorax 1993 Jun
PMID:Lung abscess: a neglected cause of life threatening haemoptysis. 834 3

The case is presented of a 25 year old man with haemoptysis who exsanguinated following endoscopic fine needle aspiration of an endobronchial mass. Necroscopic examination revealed an aneurysm of the proximal left pulmonary artery.
Thorax 1995 Sep
PMID:Pulmonary arterial aneurysm presenting as an endobronchial mass. 853 62

A 40 year old diabetic man with pulmonary actinomycosis was admitted to hospital with recurrent haemoptysis. The chest radiograph showed an air meniscus in the left upper lobe, a rare presentation of pulmonary actinomycosis. Bronchoscopic examination revealed a mass in a cavity which has never been reported previously. He underwent lobectomy and the surgical specimen revealed sulphur granules, the typical pathological finding of actinomycosis, without evidence of fungal or mycobacterial infection.
Thorax 1996 Feb
PMID:Pulmonary actinomycosis appearing as a "ball-in-hole" on chest radiography and bronchoscopy. 895 7
