Abstract:
Splenic metastasis from lung cancer is uncommon, and isolated metastasis to the spleen is extremely rare event. Most often they are part of widespread metastatic disease and usually reported at autopsy. We report an exceedingly rare case of metastatic involvement of the spleen in an operated case of lung adenocarcinoma in a 58-year-old man diagnosed 12 months after resection.
