Spontaneous Hemothorax and Hemoptysis in Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis: A Case Report

This case highlights the importance of considering vasculitis in unexplained hemothorax and underscores the role of early surgical intervention in preventing deterioration in immunosuppressed patients. Multidisciplinary management is crucial for timely diagnosis, treatment, and optimizing outcomes.
