title: Simultaneous rupture of the liver and spleen in a patient on warfarin therapy: report of a case.
abstract: Although there are many reports describing spontaneous rupture of either the spleen or the liver, the simultaneous rupture of both organs is a rare event, especially during anticoagulant therapy. We report a case of spontaneous rupture of the spleen and liver in a patient on warfarin therapy for deep venous thrombosis.
