Abstract

Herein, we report the case of a massive hemoptysis caused by vascular embolization coils following tumor necrosis induced by chemo-immunotherapy, which was successfully managed via emergency surgical resection. No postoperative recurrence of hemoptysis was observed, allowing the patient to safely resume systemic therapy.
