[Ganglio-esophageal fistula revealed by hematemesis: a rare complication of silicotuberculosis].
We report a case of fistula between a silicotic mediastinal lymph node and the esophagus with protrusion of a stiff and darkish concretion into the oesophageal lumen. The patient, a 68-year-old coal miner, presented with cough since a few months and the lesion was revealed by haematemesis. The general course was rapidly favourable. Association with tuberculosis was recognized only a few months later.
