Abstract
- Congenital bronchoesophageal fistula in the adult is rare, especially Braimbridge type III is very rare. We experienced congenital bronchoesophageal fistula associated intrapulmonary bronchogenic cyst. The patient was a 38-year-old male with chief complaints of coughing and abdominal pain 3 days before admission. Esophagogram revealed a fistulous tract between esophagus and cystic lesion in RLL. Fistulectomy and right lower and middle bilobectomy was performed. The postoperative course was uneventful.
