La ruptura esplénica se produce frecuentemente por mecanismos traumáticos. Se la denomina espontánea o patológica cuando no existe tal antecedente o hay alguna patología esplênica predisponente. La ruptura esplénica espontánea por infiltración amiloide es una causa muy infrecuente de abdômen agudo quirúrgico. Se presenta el caso de una mujer internada por abdomen agudo secundario a ruptura esplénica espontánea, cuyo diagnóstico final fue amiloidosis primaria.
