# Bronchopulmonary foregut malformation with severe hemoptysis in advanced age: a case report and literature review

## TL;DR

This paper reports a rare case of a lung developmental disorder in an elderly adult, including severe bleeding and successful treatment.

## Contribution

This is the first reported case of bronchopulmonary foregut malformation in an adult of advanced age.

## Key findings

- The patient coughed up 1 liter of blood and lung tissue, leading to respiratory failure and shock.
- Transcatheter arterial embolization successfully treated the condition and stabilized the patient.
- A literature review was conducted to contextualize this rare case.

## Abstract

Bronchopulmonary foregut malformation (BPFM) is a rare developmental malformation disease due to embryonic defects, with an even rarer occurrence in adults. We report a diagnosed case in an adult patient, and notably, this is the first reported case of such advanced age. Additionally, she experienced coughing up approximately 1 liter of blood and partial lung tissue, accompanied by respiratory failure and shock. Following treatment with transcatheter arterial embolization, her condition improved, and she has remained stable during follow-up. We present a case report and conducted a systematic review on this particular case.
