Angiosarcomatous tumours of the spleen are rather rare. We report such a tumor in a 46 year old male. The pathology is described as well as a review of the literature. The pathogenesis is unknown, the symptomatology indistinct but spontaneous rupture is a rare event. Definite diagnosis is only possible with exploratory laparotomy and splenectomy. The prognosis is poor.
