Rare anomaly: peliosis was found in a young woman, splenectomised for rupture of the spleen. Speculations on the aetiopathogenesis of this peculiar disorder are discussed. Awareness of the pathological curiosity is also of practical relevance, because of the risk of life-threatening haemorrhagic consequences from rupture of the lesions.
