In this case report, we report a case of bronchoperitoneal fistula secondary to pneumonia in a 25-year-old male patient who presented with pain abdomen and fever with provisional diagnosis of duodenal perforation and air under right diaphragm in chest radiograph. Diagnosis of bronchoperitoneal fistula was made on computed tomographic findings, which showed consolidation and small cavity in the right lower lung lobe communicating with a loculated air pocket in the right subphrenic space through a right hemidiaphragmatic defect. Knowledge of this entity is important as fistula can be overlooked and can lead to mismanagement. Bronchoperitoneal fistula is rare entity that can be overlooked in imaging and can lead to misinterpretation and mismanagement as hollow viscus perforation.

Article Synopsis
- - Bronchoperitoneal (BP) fistulas are rare and complex medical conditions, with few existing studies on their treatment options, which can be either conservative or surgical.
- - A search for BP fistulas related to bladder cancer yielded no relevant studies, indicating a gap in the literature for this specific case.
- - The presented case is the first documented instance of a BP fistula caused by metastatic bladder cancer and the second instance of successfully using an endobronchial valve for its treatment, which improved the patient's quality of life.

Symptomatic COVID-19 less frequently affects the pediatric population and is often associated with atypical presenting symptoms. Here we describe a nine-year-old patient who presented with acute hypoxic respiratory failure and was found to have perforated appendicitis, intra-abdominal abscess, and bronchoperitoneal fistula. The rapid progression of this pathology, complex critical care decision making, and ultimate surgical management has not been previously described.

Bronchoperitoneal fistulas are rare but serious pathologies that pose numerous treatment challenges to physicians. There is usually a delay in diagnosis, and treatment recommendations are mainly derived from case reports. Here, we present an interesting case of a patient who developed a left bronchoperitoneal fistula and two subsequent enterocutaneous fistulas resulting from a massive intra-abdominal phlegmon eroding through the left diaphragm.
