Spontaneous rupture of a wandering spleen: case report and literature review

Joseph C Moran et al. Curr Surg. 2003 May-Jun.

Abstract

Wandering spleen is a rare clinical entity. The etiology is not precisely known, and the management is controversial. Patients may become symptomatic when torsion of the pedicle results in pain, ischemia, infarction, or rupture. We present a spontaneous rupture of a wandering spleen without any history of trauma.
