[Multiple bronchial artery aneurysms in a patient with silicosis].
We report a case of haemoptysis in a long-standing silicotic in whom arteriography revealed saccular aneurysms of the bronchial arteries. Embolisation was satisfactory in excluding the aneurysms and leading to a favourable outcome. The mechanism of the formation of these aneurysms which is extremely rare was discussed with reference to the few reports and literature.
