Abdom Imaging. 2001 May-Jun;26(3):290-3. doi: 10.1007/s002610000158.

Abstract

Spontaneous splenic rupture is rare and in most cases occurs in a spleen affected by hematologic, neoplastic, or infectious disease or as a complication of pancreatitis. We report the imaging findings in two cases of spontaneous splenic rupture due to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and pancreatic pseudocyst.
