# Splenic Peliosis as a Rare Cause of Spontaneous Splenic Rupture: A Case Report

## TL;DR

This case report highlights splenic peliosis, a rare and asymptomatic condition, as a cause of sudden spleen rupture without trauma.

## Contribution

The paper presents a rare clinical case and discusses possible causes, risk factors, and diagnostic methods for splenic peliosis.

## Key findings

- Splenic peliosis can lead to spontaneous splenic rupture despite being asymptomatic.
- The paper explores possible etiologies and risk factors for the condition.
- Radiologic diagnostic approaches are suggested for identifying splenic peliosis.

## Abstract

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.
