Phlegmonous gastritis is a rare and progressive fatal condition that affects the mucosa and submucosa of the gastric wall. It can be localized or diffuse, affecting the entire stomach. It usually presents with upper gastrointestinal symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, and hematemesis, along with systemic symptoms, including fever, chills, and fatigue. Risk factors include mucosal injury, surgery, hypoacidity, and immunosuppression that can be seen in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive or alcoholic patients. We present a case of phlegmonous gastritis which developed after a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. The patient presented with epigastric pain, nausea, and chills two months post-sleeve gastrectomy. The diagnosis was made with computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen. She was managed successfully with CT-guided drainage and antibiotics.
