Abstract
A 76-year-old white woman with ovarian adenocarcinoma developed massiv e biliptysis following an unexpected respiratory arrest. The possibili ty of active right upper quadrant disease had not been entertained unt il she developed this complication of a biliobronchial fistula. Becaus e this sign had not previously been observed by any of us, it led to a comprehensive review of the topic of biliobronchial fistula.
