Learn English – A case that exhibits all the possible conditions a subject can suffer from

We have this Hungarian phrase "Állatorvosi ló", which literally translates to "Veterinarian horse".

It originated in 19th century Hungarian literature, when someone created an illustration of a horse that exhibited all the possible external and internal sicknesses a horse can have.

Nowadays it is used to describe all the possible (negative) conditions something can have.

What would be an idiomatic word or phrase to express that?
