We report the case of a patient in which there were two clinical manifestations considered unusual and with few reported cases in the literature: spontaneous splenic rupture and chylous ascites. The underlying disease for these presentations was a splenic marginal zone lymphoma. We make some general observations on these two presentations that must be considered.

Keywords : chylous ascites; spontaneous splenic rupture; lymphoma.
