A case of spontaneous acute infrarenal aortic dissection, with extension to the right common iliac artery and proximally to just below the origin of the renal arteries is presented. This dissection did not involve the visceral vessels nor the iliac system. The diagnosis was made with ultrasonography and computed tomography, without the need for angiography, and confirmed during surgical intervention, in which, prosthetic replacement of the affected segment was carried out.
The reactive hemophagocytic syndrome is a rare clinical-pathological entity which usually has a benign evolution and which is characterized by the systemic proliferation of mature histiocytes, with a great phagocytosis ability and which occurs in a secondary form in some infections and neoplasias and after the administration of certain drugs. We present a case of reactive hemophagocytic syndrome in a patient presenting a non-Hodgkin lymphoma, of crest malignancy, B immunoblastic and kappa monoclonal, with fatal evolution and in which the diagnosis was obtained after necropsy.
