RESUMEN
Infection-associated hemophagocytic syndrome is a rare, potentially fatal complication of systemic infection. It occurs most often in immunocompromised patients associated with a viral infection but the spectrum of conditions have been broadened to include virtually every type of infectious pathogen, malignancy and immunosuppressive therapy. We present three pediatric patients with a similar clinical history of pancytopenia, hepatosplenomegaly, and acute liver failure, and discuss the autopsy findings.

This is the case of an 11-year-old girl who presented with a right adnexal mass and vague abdominal symptoms since seven months prior to her hospital admission for surgery. CT-scan and sonographic images were those of a benign lesion, probably ovarian torsion or infarction. Serum tumoral markers were normal. A right salpingo-oophorectomy and appendectomy were performed. Pathology examination revealed a cavernous hemangioma of the ovary. The clinicopathologic presentation of this unusual benign ovarian tumor is discussed.
