  • Snapshot
    • A 36-year-old woman presents to the emergency department after coughing up blood. She reported some progressively worsening shortness of breath and on the day of presentation had an episode of hemoptysis. She has a past medical history of a complete molar pregnancy, where she underwent a dilation and curettage to evacuate the hydatidiform mole. A radiagraph of the chest demonstrates multiple radiopaque pulmonary lesions. Laboratory studies are remarkable for highly elevated β-hCG.
