Abstract
Enterobronchial fistulas are extremely rare. Herein we describe a 69-year-old man who had previously undergone resection of a gastric adenocarcinoma. He was hospitalized because of a fever, cough that produced brown sputum, dyspnea at rest, and an 18-kg weight loss during the previous year. A jejunobronchial fistula was diagnosed when methylene blue, which had been added to an enteric feeding, was detected in a bronchus during bronchoscopy. In addition to the current case, we include a brief review of the literature.
