title: Tracheoesophageal fistula due to Wegener granulomatosis.
abstract: Most acquired tracheoesophageal fistulas (TEFs) are due to malignant disease processes, with nonmalignant causes infrequently encountered. We report a patient with a TEF caused by Wegener granulomatosis. The radiographic findings of this rare cause of TEF are described.
