Abstract
A case of peliosis of the spleen without apparent involvement of the liver or other organs is presented. The peliosis was discovered following rupture of the spleen after minimal trauma and was successfully treated by surgery. None of the common associations of peliosis was present (i.e., tuberculosis or intake of steroid compounds). Drugs addiction and chronic alcoholism were the only coexisting debilitating conditions exhibited by this patient.Entities:
