Hemoptysis is defined as the expectoration of blood or blood-tinged sputum. Blood-tinged sputum is a rare finding in the pediatric population. Finding the cause and treatment of the hemoptysis in pediatric patients is largely dependent on the history. In children, the most common causes of hemoptysis are infection and tracheostomy-related complications. Other causes include aberrant bronchial circulation, aspiration of foreign bodies, and bronchiectasis associated with cystic fibrosis. Due to the rarity of hemoptysis in pediatric patients, diagnosis and management of these patients can be difficult. It is important to refer to case reports and literature to best manage these patients. We report a case of a 3-year-old male patient who presented to the emergency department (ED) with a one-day history of hemoptysis. He presented with his adopted mother who was unable to provide a comprehensive past medical or family history other than stating that the patient has had recurrent bronchial infections since his adoption. She stated that the patient had only one episode of hemoptysis just prior to arrival. The patient did not appear to be in any respiratory distress and did not have any episodes of hemoptysis while in the ED. Due to his afebrile status and lack of evidence of current bleeding, the only intervention administered was an albuterol breathing treatment. He responded well to the breathing treatment and was discharged home with instructions to follow up with his primary care provider.

Hemoptysis or expectoration of blood is one of the respiratory symptoms in children, hemoptysis is hard to detect because it is often swallowed. The common causes of hemoptysis in adults include bronchiectasis, tuberculosis, pulmonary mycosis, and lung cancer. On the other hand, hemoptysis in children is often caused by tracheobronchitis, pneumonia, bronchiectasis in cystic fibrosis, and foreign body aspiration. Bleeding of the pulmonary artery or bronchial artery is the cause of hemoptysis. Upper airway examination is important to rule out epistaxis as the cause of hemoptysis. The primary objectives of hemoptysis management are asphyxia management, bleeding cessation, and treatment of the underlying disease. When all other treatments fail to stop the bleeding, surgery is recommended.

<p class="abstract">We report a case of 18 year old female who presented with hoarseness of voice and hemoptysis for 6 months eventually diagnosed as subglottic haemangioma through video laryngoscopy, CT imaging and histopathological examination of excision biopsy. The tumor excision was done by endolaryngeal surgery with tracheostomy under general anesthesia. The diagnosis of subglottic haemangioma, its management and prognosis were discussed.</p><p class="abstract"> </p>
