| Popis: | Bronchobiliary fistula is an extremely rare condition defined as a passageway between the biliary and the bronchial tracts. The pathognomonic sign is the presence of bile in the sputum (bilioptysis). The most common causes are trauma, bile duct obstruction, and liver infections [1]. Treatment is traditionally surgical repair. However, endoscopic intervention has been increasingly used, with variable success. This case is the first report of bronchobiliary fistula as a complication of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) that was successfully managed endoscopically. |
