Acute hemorrhagic gastropathy is characterized by the presence of acute gastrointestinal mucosal lesions (AGML) induced by irritation or ischemia due to exogenous or endogenous factors. Most frequent endoscopy findings include mucosal congestion, hyperemia, petechiae, acute hemorrhagic erosions and superficial ulceration. We report the case of diffuse hemorrhagic gastropathy caused by necrotizing acute pancreatitis.
