Among the extrapulmonary manifestations of COVID-19, gastrointestinal pathology is acquiring greater relevance since cases are being observed whose initial symptoms are related to this location, in the total absence of respiratory symptoms. This article aims to illustrate a representative case whose debut was an acute abdomen in the absence of respiratory symptoms. In addition, a link is established between the torpid evolution of the surgical process and COVID-19, reinforced by pathological findings.
