Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Splenic metastases occur in 2.4–7.1% of cancer cases.
  • Common primary sites include breast, lung, pancreas, and melanoma.

Observation:

  • The authors present a rare case of splenic metastasis.
  • Literature review confirms the rarity of this condition.

Findings:

  • Splenic metastases can originate from both intra-abdominal and extra-abdominal primary tumors.
  • Direct extension from retroperitoneal tumors and pancreatic carcinoma are noted pathways.

Implications:

  • Highlights the spleen as a potential metastatic site for diverse cancers.
  • Emphasizes the need for considering splenic involvement in cancer staging and diagnosis.
