  • Title: Peliosis of the spleen: a rare cause of spontaneous splenic rupture with surgical implications.
    Author: Kohr RM, Haendiges M, Taube RR.
    Journal: Am Surg; 1993 Mar; 59(3):197-9. PubMed ID: 8476160.
    Abstract:
    Peliosis is a rare entity, formerly seen almost exclusively at autopsy, which most commonly involves the liver and less frequently the spleen. We present the sixth reported case of splenic peliosis discovered at surgical exploration and discuss the relevant findings and background of this condition, which may become an important issue for the surgeon.
