N2  - The aim of this study is to show the etiologic distribution of hemoptysis, relationships between etiology and the amount of hemoptysis, and the capability of different diagnostic methods in determining the causes of hemoptysis.  311 patients, who were admitted to our hospital for hemoptysis between January 2000 and December 2002, were retrospectively rewieved.  The most comman causes of hemoptysis were lung cancer (28.4%), active pulmonary tuberculosis (16.4%) and pneumonia (16.1%). 24(7.7%) patients had idiopathic hemoptysis. It was the first hemoptysis attack in 220(70.7%) cases and was recurrent in 91(29.3%) cases. The most comman associating symptom was cough (65.5%). The most comman radiologial lesion was homogenious dansity (27.9%) and the most comman lacation was right upper zone (21.2%) and right lower zone (21.2%). The most comman thorax CT lesion was mass (37.6%) and the most location was right upper lobe (23.2%). There were abnormal findings in the chest radiographs of the 83.2% of the cases, while in thorax CT images of 87.9% and 66.6% of bronchoscopy.  As a result, the leading cause of the hemoptysis was lung cancer. It was seen thatcomputed tomography has a higher value than fiberoptic bronchoscopy in diag nostic evaluation. Hemoptysis can be seen in very different clinical conditions. This study emphasizes the importance of careful search for the reasons hemoptysis.
