Abstract
We report an uncommon hepatobronchial fistula in a patient with a liver abscess and cholangiocarcinoma. A 66-year-old man was admitted because of a fever, right upper quadrant pain, and hemoptysis with a fishy smell. At admission, computed tomography showed an intrahepatic abscess located near the dome. Diagnostic percutaneous transhepatic cavitography disclosed a hepatobronchial fistula and a biopsy revealed intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. After antibiotic therapy and percutaneous drainage of the hepatic abscess for 5 weeks, his symptoms disappeared. However, he died of sepsis from cholangitis and pneumonia despite surgery and intensive medical treatment. (Korean J Med 77:S1137-S1141, 2009)
Key Words: Hepatobronchial fistula; Liver abscess; Cholangiocarcinoma
