Endobronchial myofibroblastic sarcoma presenting with hemoptysis in a patient with a normal chest x-ray.
Hemoptysis is an important symptom in clinical practice. The diagnosis of the underlying cause is often difficult, particularly in patients presenting with a normal chest x-ray. We report a case of hemoptysis with a normal chest x-ray due to a rare endobronchial neoplasm: myofibroblastic sarcoma.
