title: Maternal Mortality Review: A Case of Pulmonary Haemorrhage Due to Ruptured Lung Haemangioma Secondary to Ghon's Focus Invasion.
abstract: Haemangioma can be present in the lung but rarely causes complications unless there is a bleed. Ghon's focus is a result of post primary tuberculosis. It is a caseating granuloma which invades the surrounding tissue. It is usually benign and may resolve spontaneously without causing complications or active tuberculosis. This case illustrates an unfortunate patient who had a pre-existing haemangioma in the lung which was in close proximity of a Ghon's focus that had invaded on to the haemangioma leading to haemorrhage causing death. This study seeks to highlight the importance of conducting a full post mortem in cases of maternal mortality.
