| dc.description.abstract | Hughes-Stovin syndrome (HSS) is a very rare autoimmune clinical disorder that has been described as the presence of thrombophlebitis and multiple aneurysms in pulmonary and/or bronchial arteries. The pathogenesis is still unknown, but this syndrome is often thought of as a manifestation of Behcet disease. Herein, we describe a 59-year-old male patient who was admitted to massive hemoptysis. HSS was diagnosed on the basis of imaging pulmonary artery aneurysms and a history of lower extremity thrombosis. It differs in terms of the occurrence of this rare syndrome in an elderly patient. In this syndrome, which has a high mortality, the results are satisfactory when the treatment is started with a rapid diagnosis. | |
