Spontaneous rupture of the spleen in primary amyloidosis is an uncommon event. After a review of the pertinent literature (10 case-reports between 1948 and 1987) a case of spontaneous splenic rupture with hemoperitoneum is presented. The diagnosis depends on the demonstration of amyloid deposit in splenic and hepatic tissues.
