title: [Pancreatic-pleural fistula and cancer of the esophagus: single stage surgical treatment of both lesions].
abstract: To our knowledge, the association of a pancreatico-pleural fistula and an esophageal carcinoma has never been previously reported. We report the case of a 48 year old man, who presented with a squamous-cell carcinoma of the esophagus associated with a right pancreatico-pleural fistula. This association raises the problem of the surgical strategy. In our case, we chose to treat the two lesions during the same operation. We performed left pancreatectomy with splenectomy and an Ivor-Lewis procedure, with an uneventful post-operative course.
