Abstract

Introduction: Hemoptysis is a variable amount of blood that passes through the glottis from the airways and lungs.

Clinical Case: Man, 32 years old, obese, tobacco user, admitted for dyspnea of ​​moderate to minimal efforts of 4 months of evolution. The patient reported a cough with hemoptoic expectoration of 05 years of evolution, predominantly at night, confirmed upon awakening. He reported having undergone several surgical procedures: on suspicion of testicular torsion, decompressive lamectomy and removal of a sewing needle in the parietal region after CT for tonic-clonic episodes. During his hospitalization, he underwent several examinations, all without success. One day, a suspicious attitude was identified, checking the blood intake of the poliflex duct, which collaborated with the definitive diagnosis of "factitious syndrome".

Discussion: As part of comprehensive health, we must not forget the evaluation of mental health and place more emphasis on medical history.
