Figure 1. Chest imaging findings during the appearance of massive hemoptysis. (A) Chest radiography upon admission showing infiltration in the right upper lung field (yellow arrowhead). (B) Chest computed tomography showing a large mass in the apical portion of the right lung, constituting apical pleural thickening and an encapsulated pleural effusion (arrow). Additionally, the mass had enlarged over time. The bronchial artery was enlarged and contiguous with the lesion along the dorsal pleura (red arrowhead). The lesion was also accompanied by an increase in vascular growth along the ventral pleura, which may have originated from a source other than the bronchial artery (blue arrowhead).
