Abstract
We report a case of spontaneous splenic rupture caused by signet ring cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder. Rupture of the spleen usually stems from trauma and only rarely from solid tumor metastasis. Early diagnosis by ultrasound is essential since mortality is high without prompt splenectomy.
