A 74-year-old male was admitted to our hospital because of hemoptysis. Bronchoscopic examination showed a polypoid lesion in the right middle lobe bronchus. Biopsy of the polypoid lesion caused a massive bleeding. A massive hemoptysis of about 1,200 ml occurred again on the 13th day after biopsy, angiographic embolization of the right bronchial artery was performed successfully. Dilatation, convolution and hypervascularization of the right bronchial artery were observed, and anastomosis with pulmonary artery was seen. The diagnosis of primary racemose hemangioma of the bronchial artery was made. There was no recurrence of hemoptysis 3 years after the embolization procedure. Bronchial artery embolization is an effective method of treatment of hemoptysis due to racemose hemangioma.
