Diagnosing splenic hematoma is difficult. This case highlights the unusual presentation of delayed rupture in an atraumatic splenic hematoma, emphasizing diagnostic challenges.

Area of Science:

Medicine
Radiology
Pathology

Background:

Splenic hematomas, particularly atraumatic ones, pose diagnostic challenges.
Delayed rupture is an uncommon but critical presentation of splenic hematoma.

Observation:

A case study detailing the clinical course of a patient with delayed rupture of an atraumatic splenic hematoma.
The patient's presentation was atypical, underscoring the need for high clinical suspicion.

Findings:

The diagnosis was complicated by the unusual and delayed presentation.
Imaging and clinical correlation were crucial in identifying the splenic hematoma.

Implications:

This case underscores the importance of considering splenic hematoma in patients with unexplained abdominal pain, even without trauma.
