Özet
Hemoptysis is a bleeding in the respiratory system together with a cough. Common causes of hemoptysis are bronchitis, lung cancer, bronchiectasis, pulmonary tuberculosis, pulmonary embolism and pneumonia. A 67-year old patient was diagnosed to have pepticulcus who was suffering from melana and hematemesis, and then hemoptysis developed while he was being treated in gastroenterology clinic. Because of this, we consultated him. In his case history, diabetes, hypertension, and a coronary bypass operation 3 years ago were available. In the chest radiograph, a homogenous and smooth-edged lesion sized 5x5 cm was observed on the periphery of the right lung. In the computerized tomography, lung fistulization and thrombosed fluid collection that is making pressure on the heart was observed on the right lung. The patient was operated in the cardiovascular surgery, and as a result of the rupture of the saphen graft that was placed during the bypass operation, right lung fistulization and hemoptysis developed. Thus, we found it appropriate to present this case as a rare cause of hemoptysis.
