Spontaneous splenic rupture in uncomplicated multiple myeloma.
We report a case of spontaneous splenic rupture due to myelomatous infiltration of the spleen without any evidence of amyloidosis or any other complicating factors. A computer search of Medline since 1966 did not reveal any previously reported case of spontaneous splenic rupture in uncomplicated myeloma.
