Abstract:
Choledocho-duodenal fistula is a rare condition. It is usually developed as a complication of the gallstone disease, and rarely developed by penetrating peptic ulcer, trauma and neoplasm. Tuberculosis as a etiology of choledocho-duodenal fistula is very rare, and only a few cases were reported. We experienced a case of choledocho-duodenal fistula due to tuberculous lymphadenitis in a 26 year-old man presented with epigastric pain. After 6 months of anti-tuberculous medication, He was free of symptom and the fistula was closed spontaneously. We report the case with a review of literatures.
