A case of fatal spontaneous rupture of the liver caused by primary angiosarcoma is described. Spontaneous rupture of the liver is a rare clinical and pathological entity associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Possible causes include infections such as hydatid disease, infiltrating conditions such as amyloidosis, inflammatory disorders such as the vasculitides, malignant and benign tumors, and tumorlike conditions. As in the case presented, the finding of a ruptured liver raises the possibility of blunt abdominal trauma, and the circumstances and scene should be assessed. The possibility of terminal resuscitation attempts should also be considered as a possible cause.
