Abstract

Pulmonary Angioma is an extremely rare benign vascular tumor, affecting, in exceptional cases, some adults. The risk of multiple and postoperative recurrence is rare but should not be ignored in order to establish. We report a case of recurrent pulmonary hemangioma, revealed by chest pain and recurrent hemoptysis for a 27 year old woman who has a medical history of right lower lobectomy indicated in front of a proximal tissue process right lower lobe. Subsequently, the patient had extra-pulmonary locations based on the radio-clinical setting: aggressive Angioma in the lumbar vertebra of L3 confirmed via biopsy, skull Angioma and left distal femoral Angioma

Pulmonary Angioma is an extremely rare benign vascular tumor, affecting primarily youth and, in exceptional cases, some adults
The aim of our study is to report a medical observation of a case of recurrent Pulmonary Angioma
Authors emphasize the need to consider this diagnosis when faced with lung tissue processes with recurrent hemoptysis where the prognosis may be at stake

Summary

Introduction

Pulmonary Angioma is an extremely rare benign vascular tumor, affecting primarily youth and, in exceptional cases, some adults. The aim of our study is to report a medical observation of a case of recurrent Pulmonary Angioma. One year after the right lower lobectomy, the patient presented again recurrent hemoptysis of average abundance along with subscapular chest pain and right-lateral sternal, inducing to general condition deterioration. At her admission to the department, the hemoptysis have become of high flow, and have become complicated with the occurrence of consciousness disorders and hemodynamic instability , which required her stay in the intensive care unit to receive blood transfusion.
