Although splenic abnormalities are widely recognised in patients with lupus, spontaneous rupture of the spleen is rare. We describe a patient whose spleen ruptured spontaneously 19 years after the onset of her disease, and compare this case with four others that have been described in the previous literature. Possible contributing factors to this rupture are discussed.
尽管狼疮患者的脾脏异常已广为人知,但脾脏自发性破裂却很罕见。我们描述了一名患者,其脾脏在疾病发作19年后自发性破裂,并将此病例与先前文献中描述的其他4例病例进行比较。文中讨论了导致此次破裂的可能因素。
