In all cases, it is the result of bleeding into the peritoneum and manifests as a bluish-bruise that runs the entire length of the sides of the body from the bottom rib to the top of the hip. When accompanied by Cullen‘s sign, a diagnosis of necrosis in the pancreas with bleeding can be established.
