Biliary-bronchial fistula as a late
complication of hepatic resectionAdnan Al-Suleihat1
SUMMARY
Biliary-Bronchial Fistula (BBF) is a rare but serious complication of hepatic resection. We present a 31-year-old woman with a biliary-bronchial fistula due to common bile duct stricture that developed three years after right hepatectomy for metastatic colonic carcinoma. The diagnosis was based on clinical presentation, analysis of sputum, radiological findings, and bronchoscopy. Drainage of the intrahepatic biliary tract resulted in complete resolution of her symptoms.
KEY WORDS: Bile ducts, Biliary-bronchial, Fistula.
