ABSTRACT
Bronchobiliary fistulas are defined as an abnormal communication between the biliary system and the bronchial tree. They are extremely rare complications of radiofrequency or microwave ablation. A 39-year-old woman with a history of neuroendocrine pancreatic carcinoma suffering from liver metastasis was treated with microwave ablation (MWA). In this case report, we present a case of intractable biliptysis from a bronchobiliary fistula secondary to an MWA. The patient was diagnosed by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatograph and hepatobiliary scintigraphy. Treatment involved a right hemihepatectomy, a redo-hepaticojejunostomy, and the surgical placement of a transhepatic drain. After 6 weeks of drain placement, this could be removed. The fistula was thus successfully treated.
