Atraumatic splenic rupture is a serious intraabdominal emergency that requires emergent intervention. This can be due to a number of causes. In this case report, we introduce a rare cause of atraumatic splenic rupture, which is an otherwise benign asymptomatic disease that only manifests clinically upon rupture, namely splenic peliosis. There is limited existing knowledge concerning the disease's etiology and diagnosis; however, this study presents the possible etiological explanations, associated risk factors, and possible radiologic diagnostic modalities.
