title: [Hemophagocytic syndrome in a patient with anemia and liver pathology].
abstract: A case of 62-year old female with history of alcohol abuse, anemia and hepatopathy is reported. The bone marrow aspiration showed the increase of the histiocytes without morphological alteration but with increased hemophagocytic activity compatible with hemophagocytic syndrome. The case is reported because, beyond of the diagnostic guideline, the hemophagocytic syndrome can be considered still a morphological diagnosis.
