Acute gastric necrosis resulting in a black stomach is a very rare occurrence. We report a young male with corrosive ingestion who was referred to us in a moribund state. At laparotomy he was found to have a tarry black stomach due to necrosis. He recovered following total gastrectomy. To the best of our knowledge this is the first case report of black stomach. |
