We describe 3 cases fibrosing mediastinitis, most likely caused by histoplasmosis. All patients presented with hemoptysis and were found to have tracheobronchial concentric narrowing, severe hyperemia, mucosal edema. hyperemic blood vessels treated neodymium yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser argon plasma coagulation. believe that recognition specific aids prompt diagnosis mediastinitis.
