Tracheoesophageal fistula caused by mycobacterial tuberculosis adenopathy

P Macchiarini et al. Ann Thorac Surg. 1993 Jun.

Abstract

Tracheoesophageal fistulas resulting from a Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection are uncommon. We describe a patient with such a lesion that had the radiologic and clinic appearance of a malignant tracheoesophageal fistula. Use of an anterior cervical approach with one-stage esophageal repair along with tracheal resection and anastomosis allowed definitive diagnosis and treatment of this life-threatening complication.
