A 43 years old woman with a previous history of healed tuberculosis presented with a recurrent hemoptysis. On a bronchoscopy inspection, three nodular shaped mass-like lesions (0.5cm in diameter) were found on the right lower lobar bronchus. Massive hemoptysis occurred when the specimen were taken during bronchoscopy. The bleeding could not be controlled by non-surgical treatment. Consequently, she underwent a right lower lobectomy in order to control the bleeding. The patient died of respiratory failure 3 days later. A bronchoscopic biopsy revealed an abnormal blood vessel just beneath the bronchial respiratory epithelium.
