Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) is a rare necrotizing vasculitis presenting with multiple organ manifestations. We herein describe a case presented with splenic subcapsular hematoma, after nontraumatic splenic rupture and successfully treated with a combination of pulse steroids and cyclophosphamide therapy.
