Abstract

Thoracic endometriosis is a rare disorder characterized by the presence of functioning endometrial tissue within the pleura, lung parenchyma, or the airways. We report a case of catamenial hemoptysis with a rare presentation, that is, as a solitary pulmonary nodule with an internal cavity and surrounding ground glass opacity.
