Malignant oesophago-pleuro-pericardial fistula in a patient with oesophageal carcinoma.
Pericardial and cardiac fistulae secondary to oesophageal or gastric tumours are a rare complication. We report about a 50-year-old male patient with a 10-month history of distal oesophageal carcinoma with lung and liver metastases who was referred to our hospital after 6 cycles of palliative chemotherapy at the beginning of March 2004. The patient presented with dysphagia, dyspnea, tachycardia, and hypotension. Purulent pericardial and bilateral pleural effusion was diagnosed, and the patient was treated with antibiotics, repeated pleurocentesis and pericardial drainage with daily polihexanide lavage. Oesophagogastroduodenoscopy, Peritrast swallow and computed tomographic scans of chest revealed a malignant oesophago-pleuro-pericardial fistula. A total of three coated, expandable metal stents were inserted into the oesophagus, which sealed successfully the fistula. Unfortunately, the patient succumbed to his carcinoma three months later.
