Patients & Methods: The study included 18 patients with tuberculosis-related hemoptysis, proved radiologically to have localized pulmonary lesions as a source for hemoptysis, all patients subjected to the routine laboratory investigations. In all patients pulmonary resection was done either in the form of lobectomy (in 15 patients) or pneumonectomy (in 3 patients). Results: According to severity of hemoptysis 4 (22.2%) patients presented by massive hemoptysis, 6 (33.3%) patients presented by major hemoptysis and 8 (44.4%) patients presented by minor hemoptysis. Radiological findings showed cavitary lesions in 15 (83.3%) patients and 3 (16.7%) patients had destroyed lung. operative time ranged from 86 to 210 minutes, with a mean of 144 minutes.
