Popis: ANCA associated vasculitis (AAV) can cause various injuries along the gastrointestinal tract, but esophageal involvement is rare. Within the spectrum of lesions that may occur an esophageal hematoma is not a common mention in the literature. We present the case of a 67-year-old woman diagnosed with AAV and hematemesis. We consider the esophageal hematoma to be an atypical manifestation of a rare disease. The actual prevalence of this type of atypical manifestations is unknown, either due to its infrequent nature or the low reporting rate, so we believe that the publication of this type of manifestations is useful.
