Peliosis lienalis with atraumatic splenic rupture in a patient with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia: A case report

Abstract

Highlights Peliosis lienalis is a rare pathological entity which may be associated with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. Increasing splenomegaly in patients with hematological malignancies should rise suspicion of impending splenic rupture. Peliosis lienalis may be suspected with new inhomogeneous splenic parenchyma on sonography.
