A 65-Year-Old Man With Concerns of Hemoptysis After Recent Motor Vehicle Accident and Blunt Trauma to Chest.
Chest 2023 December
A 65-year-old man with a medical history of anxiety and depression came to the ED with concerns of coughing blood-tinged phlegm for the past 3 days. Four days before the presentation, the patient had a motor vehicle accident as a restrained driver with airbag deployment. The patient struck his chest against the steering wheel. He was evaluated at a level 1 trauma center and underwent a whole-body scan, including a CT scan of the chest, which showed no acute abnormalities. Apart from mild-to-moderate bruising and tenderness on the right side of his face, nose, and anterior chest, the patient was stable and was discharged the next day. After returning home, the patient started coughing blood-tinged phlegm, which became progressively bloodier for the next 3 days, achieving individual posttussive volumes of 1 T of frank blood. In the ED, the patient denied any similar symptoms in the past. He denied any recent or distant known history of malignancy, infections, or travel outside the United States. He lives by himself and previously worked various jobs. He endorsed active tobacco use and smoking 3 to 6 cigarettes per day for the past 20 years with 5 pack-year history. Patient reported consuming one to two alcohol drinks per month.
