title: Catamenial haemoptysis: a rare cause.
abstract: Since the first report of pulmonary endometriosis as a cause of catamenial haemoptysis all cases have been assumed to be due to pulmonary endometriosis, even in the absence of histopathological proof. A case is presented where the histological findings were of a pulmonary arteriovenous malformation.
