Atraumatic splenic rupture is uncommon but it is a life threatening condition because of hypovolemic shock. Early recognition and treatment are the keys to asuccessful outcome. We report a case of atraumatic splenic rupture secondary to chronic pancreatitis treated successfully by splenic artery embolization.

Common Understanding

Atraumatic splenic rupture is a rare complication of a pancreatic pseudocyst (PP), described in the setting of chronic pancreatitis. There is common understanding, within the literature, that an inflammatory process at the tail of the pancreas may disrupt the spleen and result in such splenic complications. The authors present a case report of a 29-year-old male with a PP, associated with chronic pancreatitis. The patient had a history of excessive alcohol intake and presented to the emergency department with a short history of abdominal pain and vomiting. He denied any significant history of trauma and serum amylase levels were normal. An admission computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen confirmed the presence of a PP in direct contact with the spleen. The CT also demonstrated a heterogenous hypodense area of the splenic hilum, along with perisplenic fluid. The patient was admitted for observation. His abdominal pain progressed, and he became haemodynamically unstable. An emergency ultrasound scan (USS) at this time revealed intra-abdominal haemorrhage. A subsequent CT confirmed splenic rupture, which was managed surgically with a full recovery. Few such cases are documented within the literature and more understanding of preempting such events is needed.

Atraumatic Splenic Rupture

Choriocarcinoma is a malignant tumor associated with early vascular invasion and a high mortality. Ultra-high-risk choriocarcinoma, which was proposed in the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics cancer report of 2018, has a higher risk of treatment failure and a worse prognosis than choriocarcinoma. We report a rare case of a 39-year-old female patient with ultra-high-risk choriocarcinoma (stage IV:20) with hemorrhage secondary to atraumatic splenic rupture as the initial sign. A satisfactory outcome was achieved through comprehensive treatment with surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy.

Abstract Context.—Splenic rupture secondary to solid malignancy is an infrequent complication that usually occurs late in the progression of a previously diagnosed cancer. In rare instances, splenic rupture precipitates the discovery of an unsuspected pancreatic carcinoma. We report 2 cases of adenocarcinoma of the pancreas in which the patients presented with splenic rupture. Objectives.—To review the clinicopathologic features of splenic rupture due to pancreatic carcinoma and to increase awareness of malignancy as a possible etiology for atraumatic splenic rupture. Design.—We reviewed the clinical and pathologic data from 2 patients. A literature search was conducted to identify previous reports of splenic rupture associated with pancreatic cancer. We summarized the characteristics of the earlier cases and compared them with those of our patients. Results.—We found only 4 previous reports of splenic rupture preceding the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. In 3 of these cases, the pancreatic carcinoma grossly invaded the spleen at the time of resection. In contrast, malignancy was not suspected as the etiology of the rupture in our patients until histologic examination of the resected spleen revealed carcinoma. Conclusion.—Splenic rupture is an unusual presentation of cancer of the pancreas, and to our knowledge only 4 cases have been reported previously in the literature. Although an underlying malignancy is relatively rare, spleens resected for atraumatic rupture should be carefully examined for possible neoplastic etiologies.
