Abstract
We report a case of fistula between a silicotic mediastinal lymph node and the esophagus with protrusion of a stiff and darkish concretion i nto the oesophageal lumen. The patient, a 68-year-old coal miner, pres ented with cough since a few months and the lesion was revealed by hae matemesis. The general course was rapidly favourable. Association with tuberculosis was recognized only a few months later.
