[Spontaneous rupture of the spleen in chronic calcifying pancreatitis: report of three cases].

Spontaneous rupture of the spleen is a rare complication of chronic calcifying pancreatitis. Anemia and hemorrhagic shock may not occur, making diagnosis more difficult. Favourable response to conservative treatment does not prevent the need for splenectomy, as calcifiying chronic pancreatitis may progress locally.

Spontaneous rupture and hemorrhage of hepatic focal nodular hyperplasia in lobus caudatus.

In general, focal nodular hyperplasia lesions of the liver have a benign natural course; the majority of cases remain asymptomatic and complications are rare. We report a case of spontaneous rupture and hemorrhage of focal nodular hyperplasia, which is extremely rare in the literature. A 35-year-old woman was admitted with severe upper abdominal pain and unstable hemodynamic status.
