Abstract
Congenital tracheobiliary fistula is a rare malformation that allows communication between the respiratory system and hepatobiliary tract. We describe a male adolescent patient who was admitted with a destroyed lung caused by repetitive bile pneumonitis with a congenital tracheobiliary fistula. Left pneumonectomy was performed, and the fistula tract was successfully divided.
