Abstract
Hughes-Stovin Syndrome (HSS) is a rare and severe disorder characterized by the combination of pulmonary artery aneurysms and deep vein thrombosis. We report the case of a 42-year-old male presenting with recurrent hemoptysis revealing HSS. Management consisted of high-dose corticosteroids and cyclophosphamide. The patient showed marked clinical and radiological improvement. HSS, as a rare form of Behçet’s disease, is associated with high morbidity and mortality due to thrombosis and potential rupture of aneurysms. Immunosuppression remains the cornerstone of management. Anticoagulation is controversial and requires careful consideration. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are critical in managing HSS.
