Abstract
Fistulation between the trachea and an infected mucocele arising from an ex cluded retained esophageal segment is an interesting and unusual complicati on of esophageal bypass surgery. We present such a case in which there was also malignant transformation in the cyst wall, manifested by invasive aden ocarcinoma and widespread high-grade glandular dysplasia.
