Abstract
The entity of delayed splenic rupture is often challenged. This case report describes a patient who presented with splenic rupture 2 years after a prior splenic injury from blunt trauma. The pathology report confirmed previous splenic injury. Delayed splenic rupture is possible for extended periods following splenic injury managed conservatively.
