Abstract:
Dieulafoy’s disease is a vascular anomaly characterized
by the presence of a tortuous dysplastic artery in the
submucosa. The condition was first described as a cause
of gastrointestinal bleeding in the stomach. Recently,
there have been a few reports of Dieulafoy’s disease
involving the respiratory tract. Herein, we report 2 patients
with massive hemoptysis who were treated with
surgical resection and later diagnosed with bronchial
Dieulafoy’s disease.
