Spontaneous Splenic Rupture - A Rare Complication of Haemtological Malignancies.

ABSTRACT

Spontaneous splenic rupture is a rare complication of haemalological malignancies. The diagnosis should be considered in a patient who presents with left upper quadrant pain, hypotension and tachycardia. Ultrasound and contrast enhanced computed tomography are the diagnostic modalities of choice. Splenectomy is the treatment of choice along with immunization to prevent opportunistic post splenectomy infection.
