[Splenic hemorrhage masquerading as myeloproliferative disease]

While blunt trauma to the spleen may result in various clinical features, it sometimes may not cause symptoms. A 59-year-old man presented with fever 2 weeks after minor chest trauma. Initial investigation suggested a myeloproliferative disorder. However, abdominal ultrasonography established the diagnosis of subcapsular and intrasplenic hemorrhage. Management was conservative and he was discharged after 13 days.
