The case demonstrated shows the pathomechanism of bronchobiliary fistula. In most cases, bronchobiliary fistulae are caused by stenosing lesions of the common bile duct. For diagnosis the combined cholangio-bronchography is the preferred method. Removal of the obstructing lesion is the aim of operative treatment. Usually spontaneous healing of the bronchobiliary fistula results.
