%X A spontaneous splenic rupture is one of the rarest encounters in our field. It is a potentially fatal condition if not diagnosed early and treated promptly. Moreover, several preexisting diseases contribute to the occurrence of spontaneous splenic rupture, which includes hematological disease, infectious, malignancy, and immune-compromised disease. In our case, we report a 37-year-old male with a known case of diabetes mellitus who presented with generalized abdominal pain and was diagnosed with spontaneous splenic rupture. He was treated with splenic artery embolization and discharged with a good outcome. Despite the rarity of the disease, it is important to keep it in mind when a patient presents to you with abdominal pain.
