Abstract
Spontaneous splenic rupture is a rare, though life-threatening complic ation of some hematological malignancies and is even more infrequent a s the initial symptom of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. We describe the fourth case, to our knowledge, of acute lymphoblastic leukemia presen ting as splenic rupture, and for the first time the immunophenotype an d cytogenetic pattern observed.
