摘要：

Background: Dieulafoy's disease is a vascular anomaly characterized by the presence of a tortuous dysplastic artery in the submucosa. Although frequently occurring in the gastrointestinal tract, multiple cases of Dieulafoy's disease in the bronchus have been reported in the literature. Methods and results: We report a case of a 15-year-old boy suffering recurrent massive hemoptysis. Bilobectomy stopped bleeding after unsuccessful treatment with embolization of bronchial artery. Conclusion: It is concluded a congenital origin of this disease. Angiography and endobronchial ultrasonography can be used to diagnose Dieulafoy's disease of bronchus whereas bronchoscopy biopsy should be avoided. Surgery is needed when embolization fails.
