Osler-Rendu-Weber disease presenting as recurrent haemoptysis.
A young adult male with a short history of recurrent haemoptysis due to vascular malformation of right lung is presented. Lesion was not visible in the chest radiograph, nor on bronchography. CT-scan of thorax, however, showed a bunch of circinate opacities in the upper lobe of the right lung. Histopathological examination of the resected lung tissue confirmed the diagnosis.
