  • Title: Hodgkin's disease presenting with a bronchoesophageal fistula.
    Author: Kassis ES, Belani CP, Ferson PF, Keenan RJ, Luketich JD.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 1998 Oct; 66(4):1409-10. PubMed ID: 9800846.
    Abstract:
    Bronchoesophageal fistula is a rare complication of Hodgkin's disease. We report a case of Hodgkin's disease presenting with a bronchoesophageal fistula that was successfully treated with bipolar esophageal exclusion and substernal gastric bypass. Direct invasion from mediastinal lymph nodes was the probable cause. Although bronchoesophageal fistula can result as a complication during the course of treatment for Hodgkin's disease, it rarely occurs as the presenting feature. Early recognition and surgical treatment are key aspects of management.
