Pulmonary endometriosis is a rare entity and there is little information regarding its treatment. We report a young female who developed hemoptysis in coincidence with menstruation. Pelvic endometriosis was confirmed histologically and pulmonary endometriosis was inferred. Treatment with Danazol led to suppression of both menstruation and hemoptysis, thus confirming the clinical diagnosis.

We have reported a case of hemoptysis caused by pulmonary parenchymal endometriosis which was apparently successfully treated with danazol. Bronchopulmonary endometriosis is a very unusual cause of hemoptysis, and should be suspected on the basis of cyclic hemoptysis with menstruation. Danazol is effective therapy, but information regarding optimal dosage and rates of recurrence after completion of therapy is limited at this time.

A successful treatment of pulmonary endometriosis with Danazol is reported. A 25-year-old woman who suffered from hemoptysis during her menstrual periods was at first treated with lynestrenol, but the hemoptysis recurred immediately after treatment. Following 6 months' therapy with Danazol she has now been symptom-free for 12 months. Danazol appears to have a more lasting effect on ectopic foci of endometriosis than has progestin.

Rendu-Osler-Weber disease is an hereditary disorder characterized by cutaneo-mucous telangiectasis and vascular abnormalities in several organs. Bleeding, especially epistaxis, represents the most important clinical feature. Pulmonary arteriovenous fistulae can cause hypoxaemia, haemoptysis, polycythaemia and clubbing. Diagnosis is based on family and personal history, teleangiectasis, laboratory (haemochrome, fibrinogen, PT, PTT) and instrumental findings (endoscopy and/or roentgen). Therapy depends on symptoms. Embolization of pulmonary arteriovenous fistulae and laser treatment of intestinal vascular abnormalities have been successful. Danazol treatment yielded controversial results. We report the case of a patient admitted for arterial hypertension and recurrent epistaxis. Rendu-Osler-Weber disease diagnosis was made based on positivity at family and personal history, clinical examination, laboratory and instrumental findings. In conclusion we underline the pivotal role of anamnesis and clinical examination in the differential diagnosis of hereditary bleeding disorders and emphasize the importance of early diagnosis for the correct therapeutic approach.

Hemoptysis or pneumothorax that recurs with the onset of menses is strongly suggestive of thoracic endometriosis syndrome (TES). TES is a rare disorder, with relatively few cases reported in the literature. A 32-year-old woman with cystic fibrosis, who over a period of several months had experienced recurrent catamenial hemoptysis and pneumothoraces, including an episode of life-threatening hemoptysis that coincided with menstruation, is presented. Thoracic computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging scans, as well as a bronchoscopic evaluation that demonstrated endobronchial lesions that disappeared after menses, support the diagnosis of TES in the present patient. The patient was treated empirically with danazol and subsequently underwent a successful double-lung transplantation. Danazol was discontinued postoperatively, and she was started on an oral contraceptive. Eighteen months post-transplant, she has not experienced a recurrence of her catamenial symptoms, despite having resumed a regular menstrual cycle.
