The postmortem and histological changes seen in the kidneys, lungs and vascular system in spontaneous Solanum malacoxylon poisoning on a pig farm in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, are reported. Macroscopic calcified plaques in the endocardium, aorta, and pulmonary artery and mineralization in renal pelvis were observed. Microscopic examinations revealed tubulonephrosis and calcification of the elastic fibers of kidney vessels. Severe calcinosis of the endocardium and elastic fibers of arteries (aorta, pulmonary, renal) were seen. In the lung, calcification of the elastic fibers of the alveolar wall and the lamina propia of the bronchia were also noted.
