Abstrakt: Acute necrotizing esophagitis is a rare disease. Its pathogenesis is influenced by situations of low systemic perfusion, such as hypertension, heart failure or sepsis, in which other factors, such as the application of a nasal tube, infections or drugs also play a role. We present a case of acute necrotizing esophagitis in a patient with copious vomiting, renal failure, gastric hemorrhage due to Mallory-Weiss syndrome and esophageal infection due to Actinomyces. The patient was undergoing coadjuvant chemotherapy for a surgically-treated colonic neoplasia. Maintenance therapy produced favorable evolution with restoration of esophageal epithelium and no stenotic complications.
