Hemoptysis in pulmonary tuberculosis - contrast tomography unmasking Rasmussen’s aneurysm

Year 2011, Volume: 16 Issue: 3, 208 - 210, 22.01.2013

Abstract

Abstract. Hemoptysis is a common symptom in respiratory clinical practice, but very rarely the images of Rasmussen’s aneurysm are demonstrated in a case of hemoptysis. In this report of a 53 year old man with massive hemoptysis, we are able to demonstrate a Rasmussen’s aneurysm by contrast enhanced computer tomography (CECT) of the thorax along with features of pulmonary tuberculosis.

 

Key words: Rasmussen’s aneurysm, massive hemoptysis, pulmonary tuberculosis, ‘tree-in-bud’ appearance, granuloma
