Summary:Rational: The development of bronchial hemangioma in adults is rare, and massive hemoptysis due to diffuse vascular proliferation of bronchial hemangioma is fatal. Patient concerns: A case of a 29-year-old woman kept massive hemoptysis even after being underwent repeated interventional embolization for recurrent massive hemoptysis. Eventually, the patient was performed the operation of right upper lung lobectomy and bronchial hemangioma with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support and was followed up for 4 years without recurrent hemoptysis. Diagnoses: Bronchial hemangioma. Conclusion: For patients with bronchial angiomas bonded with bronchial artery-pulmonary arteriovenous fistulae, the early surgical resection is recommended if bronchial artery embolization (BAE) is considered ineffective.
