title: Massive hemoptysis associated with isolated peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis.
abstract: A fatal case of massive hemoptysis in a patient with isolated peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis is described. Such patients are predisposed to developing pulmonary artery aneurysms. When hemoptysis develops, erosion of an aneurysm into an adjacent bronchus should be considered and aggressive diagnostic evaluation undertaken.
