We report a case of acute promyelocytic leukemia who suffered spontaneous splenic rupture with massive hemoperitoneum while receiving intensive induction chemotherapy. Emergency computed tomography of the abdomen helped in the diagnosis of intra-abdominal bleeding. The patient was successfully treated with immediate splenectomy and made an uneventful postoperative recovery. Ten days after surgery chemotherapy could be resumed and complete remission was achieved. Although spontaneous splenic rupture is a rare complication of hematologic malignancies, this diagnosis should be considered in all patients with leukemia who develop acute abdominal pain with hypotension, even in the absence of splenomegaly.
