@MickeySegal The following is a narrower concept, but probably this is the most likely place such a fistula would form. Bilioduodenal fistula Is there a need for an additional term?
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK430834/ Fistulas can form within any part of the GI tract, with approximately 60% occurring in the duodenum due to the proximity. Less commonly, a gallstone may enter the duodenum through the common bile duct, a dilated papilla of Vater, or after an endoscopic sphincterotomy. A fistula between the gallbladder can also occur with the stomach, transverse colon, and distal small bowel.
@MickeySegal Adding new term:
Preferred term label: Cholecyst-enteric fistula
Synonyms
Definition (free text, please give PubMed ID) Fistula between the gallbladder and the intestine
Parent term (use hpo.jax.org/app)
Diseases characterized by this term ? (e.g. Orphanet or OMIM number) Gallstone ileus
