title: Congenital bronchobiliary fistula in adults.
abstract: Congenital bronchobiliary fistula is a rare malformation. We have presented a case that was diagnosed and treated successfully in an adult. The diagnosis was made by bronchoscopy and bronchography. After excision of the fistula the patient recovered completely. For each patient in whom this anomaly is suspected, bronchoscopy and bronchography are useful for diagnosis.
