Abstract
This report describes the case of a 30-year-old homeless man from Pereira, Colombia with tuberculosis, who presented with massive hemoptysis and associated aneurysm of the left upper lobe (Rasmussen aneurysm). Computed tomography angiography with three-dimensional reconstruction confirmed the aneurysm, and embolization was performed successfully.
