Abstract
Splenic rupture is a critical surgical condition that poses an immediate threat to the patient's life. In most cases, mechanical trauma to the organ results in the rupture of the capsule, leading to hemorrhage into the peritoneal cavity. Spontaneous (pathological) spleen rupture (SPSR) is considered when the etiology of the rupture is non-traumatic. Spontaneous (pathological) spleen rupture is most commonly associated with hematological malignancies, though it remains a rare condition. Only 8 cases have been caused by mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). This review presents the case of a 59-year-old male patient who was treated with emergency splenectomy due to SPSR. Histopathological examination revealed MCL.
期刊介绍:
Polish Journal of Pathology is an official magazine of the Polish Association of Pathologists and the Polish Branch of the International Academy of Pathology. For the last 18 years of its presence on the market it has published more than 360 original papers and scientific reports, often quoted in reviewed foreign magazines. A new extended Scientific Board of the quarterly magazine comprises people with recognised achievements in pathomorphology and biology, including molecular biology and cytogenetics, as well as clinical oncology. Polish scientists who are working abroad and are international authorities have also been invited. Apart from presenting scientific reports, the magazine will also play a didactic and training role.
