Abstract
An 85-year-old man with a history of obstructive jaundice who underwent multiple biliary procedures presented with a massive right pleural effusion. A diagnosis of thoracobiliary fistula (TBF) with biliary effusion was made. The patient's condition resolved after decompression of the biliary tree with a biliary stent. The diagnosis of TBF was reached after examination of the pleural fluid.
