Phlegmonous gastritis is a rare bacterial infection of the stomach. Its diagnosis is difficult and has a poor prognosis. The authors report a case of phlegmonous gastritis occurring in a 50 year-old woman in whom the diagnosis was made by microscopic examination after surgery for intestinal occlusion. The patient died a few hours after the operation.
