Primary splenic angiosarcoma is an extremely rare solid tumour. Splenic angiosarcoma is a highly aggressive malignancy associated with early metastases and poor prognosis. Most patients present with abdominal pain or a palpable abdominal mass. Spontaneous splenic rupture with fatal haemorrhage is a fairly common presentation and is reported in the literature in up to 30% of patients. This report is of a patient with spontaneous splenic rupture due to splenic angiosarcoma.

原發性脾血管肉瘤是一種極其罕見的實性腫瘤。脾血管肉瘤是一種高度侵襲性的惡性腫瘤，它會早期轉移，並且預後差。大多數患者因腹痛或可觸及的腹部包塊前來就診。自發性脾破裂引發致命性大出血是很常見的病徵，文獻報導有多達30%的患者會出現這情況。本文報告一宗因脾血管肉瘤而引致自發性脾破裂的病例。
