| Abstrakt: | Grey Turner’s sign is an uncommon subcutaneous manifestation of intra-abdominal pathology that manifests as ecchymosis or discoloration of the flanks. Classically it correlates with severe acute necrotizing pancreatitis, often in association with Cullen’s sign (periumbilical ecchymosis). It may also be present in many other conditions that result in intra-abdominal or retroperitoneal hemorrhage. The discoloration may be green, yellow, or purple depending on the degree of red blood cell (RBC) breakdown in the abdominal wall tissues and may not occur until several days into the course of an illness.
