A case of hemochromatosis--a disease in which iron is deposited in parenchymatous organs in the form of hemosiderin leading to fibrosis and functional impairment of these organs--is reported. The classical triad of symptoms seen in hemochromatosis (cirrhosis of the liver, diabetes mellitus, and skin pigmentation) are often supplemented by cardiomyopathy. In this case, postmortem examination revealed pigmentary cirrhosis of the liver and pancreas and hemosiderin deposits in the myocardium and other organs. The leading cause of death was concluded to be hemochromatosis of the heart.
