title: [A case of dextrocardia concomitant with tetralogy of Fallot, patent ductus arteriosus and bronchiectasia].
abstract: We report a case of dextrocardia concomitant with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), bronchiectasia, and pulmonary tuberculosis. A 24-years-old man without surgical operation for TOF, whose diagnosis had been made at infancy, was admitted to the Osaka City University Hospital because of massive hemoptysis. The diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis was made. He received anti-tuberculotic drugs and bronchial arterial embolization improved his symptoms. A case of mirror-image dextrocardia concomitant with TOF, PDA, and bronchiectasia, as seen in our case, has a low incidence rate, and, moreover, such a case concomitant with pulmonary tuberculosis is rarer still.
