The Medical Journal of Australia

Abstract

Two patients with an initial diagnosis of a poorly differentiated lymphocytic lymphoma suffered a pathological rupture of the spleen in association with the histological transformation of the disease to a large cell lymphoma and the development of a leukaemic phase. The value of computerized tomographic scanning of the upper abdomen in confirming the diagnosis of splenic rupture is demonstrated.
