Catamenial hemoptysis is a rare condition characterized by cyclic pulmonary hemorrhage, synchronous with menses and associated with the presence of intrapulmonary or endobronchial endometrial tissue. Because of the paucity of cases reported in the literature, information regarding the natural history is limited and also the optimal diagnostic workup and management of these patients are not well defined. In this report, we present a case of endobronchial endometriosis in a 12-year-old female diagnosed by bronchoscopy and immunocytochemical assay, associated with type 1 von Willebrand disease.
