Abstract

A 69 year-old female was admitted to the hospital due to intermittent hemoptysis for 1 month. Emergent bronchoscopy revealed mass-like lesion almost completely obstructing right intermediate bronchus with multiple hemorrhagic spots. Bronchial arterial angiography was performed but failed to find out actively bleeding vessel. Spiral computerized tomography of the chest showed contrast enhanced bulging of the posterior portion of right main bronchus into the lumen of right intermediate bronchus suggesting Rasmussen aneurysm. The AFB smear of bronchial washing fluid was positive. Pulmonary arterial angiography and embolization were not performed due to improvement of clinical course with medical conservative care. Here we report a case of endobronchial mass-like Rasmussen aneurysm grossly suspected by bronchoscopy and diagnosed by spiral CT, which successfully managed by medical conservative care with antituberculous agents.
