Hemoptysis is defined as coughing out of blood. Pulmonary tuberculosis is the most common cause of hemoptysis in tuberculosis-endemic countries like India. Rasmussen aneurysm is a pseudoaneurysm arising from the pulmonary artery adjacent to or within a tuberculous cavity. Chest radiographs, chest computed tomography angiography (CTA), and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) are the imaging tools for evaluating a case of hemoptysis.
