RESUMO
Lane-Hamilton syndrome (LHS) is a rare syndromic association between idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis and celiac disease (CD). It is usually seen in children below 15 years of age. It can occasionally be seen in adults. We present the case of a 33-year-old female patient who presented with recurrent episodes of hemoptysis to the pulmonary outpatient department. She also gave a history of having frequent loose stools. She was admitted and investigated thoroughly and was found to be suffering from LHS which is a rare disease. High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of the chest and duodenal biopsy helped in concluding the diagnosis. She was started on gluten-free diet (GFD) and has responded well with no episodes of hemoptysis on 9-month follow-up and is in good general condition. This case highlights the importance of keeping a high index of suspicion of LHS in a young patient presenting with unexplained hemoptysis and diarrhea. In a known case of CD presenting with hemoptysis, a HRCT chest aids in the diagnosis of LHS. A GFD is the mainstay of long-term treatment, and adherence to this diet shows remarkable improvement in the symptoms of the patient and their overall general condition.
