Abstract
Pulmonary endometriosis is the likely cause in patients with hemoptysis during menses. While we describe two cases of catamenial hemoptysis, which were localized with chest CT scanning, angiograms revealed normal appearance. We suggest that angiograms may have little value in the evaluation of patients with pulmonary endometriosis.
