We present the case of a 37-year-old man who goes to Primary Care Consultation afflicted with abdominal pain together with blood in vomit. After several evaluations and a second visit to Emergency Service, he is hospitalized, where he is finally diagnosed with Boerhaave Syndrome (spontaneous esophageal perforation), requiring urgent surgery.
