| Abstract | Angiosarcoma is a highly aggressive and extremely rare neoplasm of the spleen, with a limited number of reported cases worldwide. We report a case of a 69-year-old man who presented with progressive symptoms of fatigue, abdominal and back pain, anaemia and haemoperitoneum 1 year following embolisation of the spleen for splenic rupture. Additional imaging and colonoscopy with biopsy revealed intra-abdominal fluid and a colonic adenocarcinoma. Diagnostic laparoscopy demonstrated a haemoperitoneum and colon carcinoma, after which splenectomy via laparotomy was performed. Pathology report revealed an angiosarcoma of the spleen with peritoneal tumour deposits. Rupturing of a spleen may be due to an underlying disease. Therefore, the differential diagnosis of splenic rupture should include the possibility of a splenic tumour. The definitive diagnosis and treatment of a splenic angiosarcoma may require splenectomy, although prognosis is poor. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
