Abstract
A 46-year-old woman with a sore throat was diagnosed with anaplastic lymphoma kinase-negative anaplastic large cell lymphoma that had spread from the piriform fossa to the cervical esophagus. Tracheoesophageal fistula developed after induction chemotherapy. Because conservative repair was not applicable, intensified chemotherapy, including autologous stem cell transplantation was performed with the fistula remaining open. Laryngopharyngectomy and cervical esophagectomy were performed 6 months after transplantation. The optimal strategy for refractory lymphoma with active tracheoesophageal fistula remains undetermined. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report describing the successful treatment of a patient with tracheoesophageal fistula who received high-dose chemotherapy supported by autologous stem cell transplantation.
