  • Title: Spontaneous rupture of a normal spleen following bronchoplastic left lung lower lobectomy.
    Author: Stupnik T, Vidmar S, Hari P.
    Journal: Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg; 2008 Apr; 7(2):290-1. PubMed ID: 18202025.
    Abstract:
    Rupture of the spleen is a common event associated with trauma, infectious diseases, neoplasia and many systemic disorders affecting the reticuloendothelial system. A rare subtype of rupture occurring spontaneously and arising from a normal spleen was recognized as a distinct clinicopathologic entity. It has been reported in association with trivial insults such as vomiting and coughing. We report a case of a patient with spontaneous rupture of a normal spleen observed after severe coughing on the 3rd postoperative day following bronchoplastic left lung lower lobectomy combined with S4, S5 segmentectomy.
