## TL;DR

This paper discusses a case where Swyer-James-MacLeod syndrome in an adult caused coughing up blood and was successfully treated with a specific procedure.

## Contribution

The paper highlights bronchial artery embolization as an effective treatment for hemoptysis in adult SJMS cases.

## Key findings

- SJMS can present in adults with hemoptysis.
- Bronchial artery embolization is effective for managing significant hemoptysis in SJMS.
- SJMS may be misdiagnosed as other pulmonary conditions like pulmonary embolism.

## Abstract

Swyer‐James‐MacLeod syndrome (SJMS), though typically diagnosed in childhood, can present in adults with symptoms like hemoptysis and may be misdiagnosed as other pulmonary conditions like pulmonary embolism. Bronchial artery embolization is an effective treatment for controlling significant hemoptysis in SJMS.
