Pulmonary endometriosis is a rare disease of uncertain pathogenesis which generally presents with the cyclic clinical symptoms and catamenial changes noticed on computer tomography during menstruation. We report a case of a 33-year-old woman with recurrent hemoptysis for 1 year. The patient did not exhibit a temporal relationship between her periods and the onset of hemoptysis. A chest computed tomography scan showed multiple pseudocavities in the lower lobe of the right lung and multiple nodules in both lower lobes of the lungs. The right lower lobe wedge resection was performed. Postoperative pathological examination showed pulmonary endometriosis which is a rare cause of hemoptysis.
