Abstract
Esophago-pericardial fistula is a rare disease, and reports about it are rare. But esophagopericardial fistula is a serious condition with rapid progression, easy to miss diagnosis and misdiagnosis, and high fatality rate. However, there are no guidelines for its diagnosis and treatment in academia. This paper describes and analyzes a typical case of esophageal cancer-induced esophageal pericardial fistula, and summarizes the etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of this disease in combination with previous literature on esophageal pericardial fistula, so as to further improve the understanding of esophageal pericardial fistula and esophageal tumors.
