Unusual association of diseases/symptoms
Spontaneous gastrosplenic fistula secondary to primary splenic lymphoma

Summary

A gastrosplenic fistula is a rare complication of gastric and splenic lymphomas which can occur spontaneously or secondary to chemotherapy. We report a case of a spontaneous gastrosplenic fistula secondary to a diffuse splenic large B cell lymphoma in a previously well 43-year-old patient. CT imaging demonstrated the fistula, which was subsequently managed with chemotherapy. The clinical management of this rare condition is discussed with a review of the literature.
