Splenic rupture is a life-threatening condition that is most frequently of traumatic etiology. Atraumatic or spontaneous splenic rupture is much rarer and less frequently reported. We present a case of an 84-year-old male patient initially hospitalized for pneumonia, who developed sudden abdominal pain and hemodynamic instability. Further investigations revealed a spontaneous splenic rupture. Histopathological examination postsplenectomy identified a splenic hamartoma, which had not been visualized on prior imaging studies.
脾破裂是一种危及生命的病症,最常见的病因是外伤。非外伤性或自发性脾破裂则更为罕见,报道也较少。我们报告一例84岁男性患者,最初因肺炎住院,之后出现突发腹痛和血流动力学不稳定。进一步检查发现是自发性脾破裂。脾切除术后的组织病理学检查发现了一个脾错构瘤,之前的影像学检查未发现。
