Abstract
Hughes-Stovin Syndrome is a very rare pathology of unknown etiology with a lethal potential. It is characterized by the association of pulmonary artery aneurysms and peripheral venous thrombosis. We report the case of a 33 years old man with no prior illnesses, who came in for hemoptysis in small quantities. Based on the clinical presentation, the radiological studies and the histopathological finding we made our diagnosis of Hughes-Stovin Syndrome. The response to treatment was very good and at the 12 months follow-up the patient was completely asymptomatic, with no new radiological lessions on chest CT. *Correspondence to: Silviu-Mihail Dumitru MD, Marius Nasta, National Institute of Pneumophtisiology, Romania, E-mail: Dumitrusm@gmail.com
