GOMEZ, Martín Alonso; LUQUEZ, Adán  and  OLMOS., Lina María. The skin as a mirror of the gastrointestinal tract. Rev Col Gastroenterol [online]. 2019, vol.34, n.2, pp.194-196. ISSN 0120-9957.  https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.397.

We present four cases of digestive bleeding whose skin manifestations guided diagnosis prior to endoscopy. These cases demonstrate the importance of a good physical examination of all patients rather than just focusing on laboratory tests.

Keywords : Skin; bleeding; endoscopy; pemphigus.
