Isolated splenic peliosis is an exceedingly rare condition of unclear etiology characterized by blood filled cyst-like cavities in the primary mononuclear phagocytic organ. People with splenic peliosis are typically asymptomatic. However, splenic peliosis may present as an incidental mass on imaging mimicking a neoplasm during life, or present as sudden death after hemoperitoenum when ruptured, mimicking traumatic injury. Awareness of this condition is important to forensic pathologists so as to provide an accurate cause and manner of death.
孤立性脾血管瘤病是一种极为罕见的疾病，其病因不明，特征为原发性单核吞噬细胞器官中充满血液的囊肿样腔隙。患有脾血管瘤病的人通常没有症状。然而，脾血管瘤病可能在生前表现为影像学上的偶然肿块，类似于肿瘤，或者在破裂时表现为血腹导致的突然死亡，类似于创伤性损伤。法医病理学家了解这种情况很重要，以便提供准确的死因和死亡方式。
