SIERRA SALDIVAR, Amanda  and  VALLEJOS GALEANO, Shirley. Male youth with dysnea and hemoptysis. Rev. virtual Soc. Parag. Med. Int. [online]. 2016, vol.3, n.1, pp.69-73. ISSN 2312-3893.  https://doi.org/10.18004/rvspmi/2312-3893/2016.03(01)69-073.

Hemoptysis may be the first manifestation of a large number of diseases with very diverse diagnosis and treatment. In the clinical practice, it is very important to identify the cause, locate its origin, estimate the seriousness and install the specific treatment as early as possible. We report here a case of hemoptysis and dyspnea, accompanied by a constitutional syndrome of a 1-month evolution in a 20-year-old male patient with a 2-cm mass in his right testicle, diffuse nodular infiltrate in both lungs and hepatic nodules. Bloody sputum was negative for AARB. It has a fatal outcome.

Keywords : testicular tumor; hemoptysis; dyspnea.
