Abstract
Bronchoesophageal fistula (BEF) is an undesirable consequence of esophageal cancer. A BEF is encountered in 5% to 15% of patients with esophageal cancer. It is generally a life-threatening complication because of the development of recurrent pulmonary infection and sepsis. We present a case with esophageal cancer and acquired BEF. The fistula allowed herniation of the esophageal wall into the endobronchial lumen, causing significant obstruction of the airway lumen, findings not reported previously.
