Abstract EN
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) accounts for less than 10 percent of all non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL).
Pathologic or spontaneous rupture of the spleen has been reported in patients with lymphoma; however only 5 cases have been reported in patients with MCL.
Although splenomegaly occurs frequently in patients with MCL, spontaneous splenic rupture is rare.
We present a case of a 51-year-old female with MCL, who presented to the medical emergency room with splenic rupture.
This case illustrates that clinicians should be aware of the incidence and presentation of patients with MCL and spontaneous splenic rupture, as early detection and heightened suspicion may prevent potentially fatal outcomes.
