Abstract: Massive hemoptysis is uncommon in mitral stenosis in contemporary practice. We report a patient without any previous illness presenting with life-threatening pulmonary hemorrhage, who was initially managed as cryptogenic hemoptysis. Once mitral stenosis was confirmed, the patient underwent mitral valve replacement with total and complete cessation of bleeding.<br />Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.<br /> (Copyright © 2021, Al-Kindi et al.)
