abstract="A 15-year-old male ruptured his enlarged spleen while body surfing. He experienced sharp abdominal pain after being thrown and pinned to the sand by a wave. He developed signs and symptoms of intraperitoneal bleeding and was taken to surgery. The pathology report confirmed the presence of a laceration of the capsule of a spleen with reactive lymphoid hyperplasia. It is suggested that the usual definition of &quot;contact sports&quot; be expanded to include body surfing.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
