Abstract
|
|
|
|
When physicians meet patients who expectorate blood, hemoptysis should be distinguished from pseudohemoptysis, i.e., bleeding from the upper respiratory tract or upper gastrointestinal tract. Herein, we present a case of hemangioma in the palate that caused bleeding mimicking hemoptysis. Hemangioma in the palate occurs rarely, but it can be easily diagnosed and the patient may avoid unnecessary tests if a physician examines the oral cavity closely at the initial visit.
