We report the case of a 67-year-old male who was referred to our hospital due to severe abdominal pain and fever. His past medical history included a total gastrectomy surgery for stomach cancer. Abdominal examination showed intense pain on deep palpation in the epigastric region. Laboratory test revealed elevated C-reactive protein (235 mg/l) and amylase (1,789 U/l). Computerized tomography reported a pancreatic collection with the presence of air bubbles inside and areas of necrotic pancreatic parenchyma.
