Abstract
Acute necrotizing esophagitis (black esophagus) is a rare clinical entity that is characterized by partial or total loss of the epithelium, ulceration up to the circumferential slough of all layers of the mucosa and submucosal, frequent involvement of deep muscle layers, and frequent perforations. Its blackish appearance in endoscopic examinations has given it the name of black esophagus. We describe a rare case of black esophagus caused by hepatic cirrhosis associated with gastric ulcer.
