Аннотация
RATIONALE: Hemochromatosis is a disorder, associated with an abnormal accumulation of iron leading to toxic organ damage. Clinical symptoms develop during a long period of time, thus, determining accidental or late diagnosis, usually when complications are evident.
PATIENT CONCERNS: A 53-year-old man was brought to the emergency unit with symptoms of hypovolemic shock without any apparent cause, which ultimately led to multiple organ failure, severe metabolic acidosis.
DIAGNOSES: The final diagnosis of hemochromatosis was determined after the autopsy.
INTERVENTIONS: Abnormal findings included a black-grayish pancreas, without any surrounding tissue reaction, and a dilated congestive cardiomyopathy. Histological findings revealed significant hemosiderin deposits in the internal organs, which were more distinct in the pancreas, liver, and kidneys.
OUTCOMES: Patient death in less than 12 hours.
LESSONS: The necessity of a genetic examination after the autopsy, regarding this case was undeniable, especially focusing on the first-degree relatives, helping to diagnose and prescribe an adequate and early treatment.
