Peliosis lienis: uncommon cause of rupture of the spleen.

Gábor S, Back F, Csiffáry D.

Department of Pathology, Teaching Hospital Tétényi, Budapest, Hungary.

Rare anomaly: peliosis lienis, which was found in the spleen of a woman splenectomised for rupture, is presented. Speculations on the etio-pathogenesis of this peculiar disorder are discussed based on literary data. The awareness of this pathological curiosity may be of practical importance because of the hazard of life-threatening haemorrhagic consequences following rupture of the lesions.
