Abstract:
Metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma to various organs is frequently seen. The lungs, regional lymph nodes, kidney, bone marrow and adrenals are relatively common sites of metastasis. However, metastasis to the spleen is extremely rare. Herein, two patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who developed splenic metastasis are described and distinctive features of spleen metastasis are summarized.
