[A rare cause of upper digestive tract hemorrhage: an esophageal fistula in mediastinal tuberculous adenopathy].
We report a case of esophageal fistula of a tubercular mediastinal adenopathy revealed by melena and which was diagnosed partly by means of endoscopy and partly by scanning after carrying out endoscopic fistulography. Endoscopic ultrasound, which was carried out as a complementary examination, confirmed this diagnosis.
