Case Report: Fatal massive hemoptysis secondary to pulmonary actinomycosis: a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge in a multidisciplinary approach

Imaging of pulmonary actinomycosis is easily confused with tuberculosis and tumors and is difficult to diagnose. Pulmonary actinomycosis should be considered in patients with a lung mass shadow and recurrent hemoptysis. When life-threatening hemoptysis complicates pulmonary actinomycosis, surgical resection may effectively control the condition and improve the prognosis.
