%X We present a case of a 57 year old woman who suffered from massive hemoptysis; she was sent to us for a suspect neoformant lesion. We assumed it might be Dielafoy¡¯s disease and proceeded with an imaging study that confirmed the diagnosis; after embolization, the patient no longer showed signs of bleeding. In brief, we concluded that whenever there is a suspect Dielafoy¡¯s disease, the biopsy has to be avoided.
