    Author: Tang JS, Wu CC, Liu TJ, Wu TC, Yang MD, Hwang CR.
    Journal: Zhonghua Yi Xue Za Zhi (Taipei); 1993 Mar; 51(3):241-3. PubMed ID: 8490801.
    Abstract:
    Splenic hemangioma is rare. The major problem concerning splenic hemangioma is the difficulty of preoperative diagnosis. No characteristic signs allow the specific diagnosis of this tumor. Spontaneous rupture is the main complication, occurring in up to 25% of cases reported. In cases of rupture of the tumor, splenectomy is a life-saving and mandatory procedure. A case of spontaneous rupture of splenic cavernous hemangioma is presented and the literature is reviewed.
