ABSTRACT
Acute necrotizing esophagitis, also known as black esophagus, represents an extremely rare clinical entity, defined by the black pigmentation of the esophagus, secondary to necrosis of the mucosa and detected at endoscopy. We present a clinical case of this rare disease, with its manifestation, diagnosis, treatment, and we perform a review of the literature.
