Abstract

During the dissection practice, anatomical variants occur, pathological findings or alterations, and structural lesions may be found. This report deals with the discovery of a diaphragmatic hernia on the right side that was found during a dissection practice, in the corpse of a 71-year-old man, whose reported cause of death was severe respiratory failure. However, the anatomopathological findings demonstrate that it is a congenital hernia, that is, the patient was able to survive his entire life with this alteration thanks to compensatory mechanisms, which leaves a great opportunity for discussion and learning in the classroom.
