  • Title: [Spontaneous splenic rupture due to splenic metastasis of lung cancer].
    Author: Lachachi F, Abita T, Durand Fontanier S, Maisonnette F, Descottes B.
    Journal: Ann Chir; 2004 Nov; 129(9):521-2. PubMed ID: 15556583.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a patient who underwent splenectomy for spontaneous rupture of the spleen due to splenic metastasis. Pathologic examination revealed diffuse infiltration by carcinoma. Chest X-ray revealed a right lung superior lobe tumor, related to poorly differentiated carcinoma. Total splenectomy is a good option for diagnosis and treatment of splenic metastases.
