Abstract
Role of lung resection for benign pulmonary diseases presented with hemoptysis is still controversial. Weretrospectively reviewed the patients’ records with significant hemoptysis that underwent anatomic pulmonary resectionfrom 2009 to 2015. Among ten patients (male 9, female 1, mean age 52.3 years), eight patients had inflammatorydiseases including aspergilloma or bronchiectasis and nine patients underwent lobectomy or pneumonectomy. Therewas no postoperative mortality and recurrence of hemoptysis. Lung resection is still one of the effective treatmentoptions for benign lung diseases presented with hemoptysis although the number of included patients was small.
