A 31-year-old female patient was diagnosed with symptoms such as nausea, increased liver enzymes, and right upper quadrant pain for about a year. The parasite was detected in the common bile duct by Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) and removed by Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio Pancreatography (ERCP).

Background: Acquired bronchobiliary fistula (BBF) is a rare but life-threatening complication that can occur as a result of oncological processes, inflammatory reactions, parasite infections, thoracoabdominal trauma, or invasive procedures associated with iatrogenic injury. However, the potential etiology of BBF caused by instrumental issues when using ultrasonic scalpels resulting in diathermy burn and its post-burn effects has never been reported.
Case Presentation: Herein, we present a case of a 65-year-old woman who developed BBF one month after hepatectomy and presented with refractory irritating cough accompanied by yellow bitter sputum.

The endoscopic placement of a biliary stent presents adverse events, including proximal migration in the bile duct, a situation that can be so challenging to resolve that surgery must sometimes be resorted to. We present the case of a 83-year-old patient who underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangio pancreatography (ERCP) for acute cholangitis and a plastic biliary stent was placed for stenosis in the distal common bile duct. Four months later, proximal migration of the stent was evident; conventional extraction techniques were performed without success.
