Photodynamic therapy (PDT) can be used as palliative therapy to reduce obstructive sym ptoms in patients with advanced lung cancer. Herein, we report on the case of a patient w ith fatal broncho-m ediastinal fistula after PDT . A 57-year-old woman was diagnosed as no n-smal l cell lung cancer (squamous cell carcinoma, cT4N3). She received PDT on the endobronchial mass obstructing her right main bronchus twice in 48 hours interval. Two weeks later, concurrent chemoradiation therapy (CCRT) with weekly Paclitaxel/Carbo platin was started. During maintenance chemotherapy, a new nodule in her scalp developed and turned out to be a metastatic nodule. A broncho-medias tinal fistula was suspicious on follow-up chest computed tomography and a broncoscopy revealed an extensively damaged medial right main bronchial wall. On the day following bronchoscopy, the patient died of sudden massive hemoptysis.
