Reoperation for complicated tracheoesophageal fistula after surgery of a tracheal lymphoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 52-year-old woman with tracheal lesions underwent tracheal resection and carina reconstruction directly because histopathologic diagnosis was not obtained before surgery. Postoperative pathological analysis confirmed a diagnosis of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. Subsequently, she suffered serious complications of tracheal stenosis, bronchial stenosis, and tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF), which failed to improve with conservative treatment. A reoperation using esophageal double patch technique was successfully performed. MALT lymphoma of the trachea is extremely rare. This case emphasizes the importance of considering MALT lymphoma in the differential diagnosis of tracheal tumors, and obtaining a histopathologic diagnosis before treatment. The esophageal double patch technique can be a choice in treating complicated TEF.

We herein report a case of unsuturable tracheoesophageal fistula developed after chemotherapy of a mediastinal lymphoma. Esophageal exclusion was primary performed to prevent continued contamination of the respiratory tract. In a second stage procedure the fistula was patched with the esophageal posterior wall and the digestive tract was restored by a substernal colic bypass. This case leads to...
متن کاملPost-Intubation Tracheoesophageal Fistula; A Nine-Year Experience
Introduction: Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is a rare condition, which could be life-threatening if diagnosed late or mismanaged. Post-intubation TEF is the most common form of acquired, non-malignant TEF and is usually associated with tracheal stenosis, which makes the treatment more challenging. Here, we present our experience of managing 21 patients with post-intubation TEF. Materials & ...
