Hemoptysis, defined as the expectoration of blood originating from the lower respiratory tract, is a clinical symptom with a wide differential diagnosis that ranges from benign to life-threatening causes. Common causes vary by geographic region and care setting, with respiratory infections, malignancy, bronchiectasis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease being predominant in resource-rich countries and tuberculosis remaining the leading cause in resource-limited areas. Though most cases are mild and self-limited, hemoptysis can be a life-threatening medical emergency; these cases are associated with a mortality exceeding 50%, primarily due to asphyxia.

Pulmonary angiosarcoma is a rare, aggressive malignancy often mimicking other lung cancers. The present study describes the case of a 36-year-old male patient with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) on highly active antiretroviral therapy who developed severe hemoptysis and respiratory distress, initially attributing his symptoms to mold exposure. Imaging revealed bilateral pulmonary nodules surrounded by ground-glass (suggestive of hemorrhagic lesions), and a biopsy confirmed stage IV pulmonary angiosarcoma.
