Spontaneous atraumatic rupture of a normal-sized spleen due to AL amyloid angiopathy
2008
We report an unusual cause of hemoperitoneum in an AL amyloid patient on peritoneal dialysis due to spontaneous rupture of a normal-sized spleen not related to any trauma. The rupture was not due to amyloid deposition within the spleen pulp but rather due to amyloid angiopathy causing hemorrhage within the spleen and capsular tear.
