Abstract

Paediatric haemoptysis is a difficult entity to deal with. The diagnosis as well as management is challenging. Although the most common causes including lung infections, foreign body ingestion and bleeding diathesis are easily identified and treated, there are some stealth entities that are not only difficult to diagnose but management is also challenging. We present such a case of Dieulafoy's lesion of the lung in a 17 year old male presenting with recurrent bouts of massive haemoptysis who eventually required surgical lobectomy.
