-Abstract-
Solitary splenic metastasis of colon cancer is uncommon and usually occurs with wide
spread dissemination of the tumor. Only 8 cases of isolated splenic metastasis from
colon cancer are reported in the English literature. A 26-year-old male who had
received a right hemicolectomy for right colon cancer on May 1996, was hospitalized for
increased carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level that was identified on regular follow-up.
The abdomimal computed tomography (CT) revealed a 5×4×3.5 cm sized low
attenuated lesion in posterior portion of spleen. On sono-guided aspiration, metastastic
adenocarcinoma was confirmed. Under the diagnosis of solitary splenic metastasis, a
splenectomy was performed on July 1998. We report the case with a review of
literature.
