title: [Autotransfusion: its use in a case of spontaneous splenic rupture in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma].
abstract: The article refers to autotransfusion experience in a patient affected by lymphoma (not Hodgkin type), who reached surgery for haemoperitoneum caused by the spontaneous rupture of the spleen. Considering the pathology, this method brought unpredictable variations in the hemochrome thus leading to a deep reflection on the limitations of the use of autotransfusion.
