Back Ground:
Metastatic deposits in spleen are rare owing to its physiological functions and sharp angle of splenic artery with coelic axis.
Case Report:
We report a case of a 53year old male with clear cell carcinoma of left kidney. Isolated splenic metastasis was detected on a follow up PET CT scan 2 months post radical nephrectomy. Splenectomy was performed; histopathology confirmed multiple metastatic lesions within the spleen CONCLUSION: Timely treatment of isolated metastasis in case of renal cell carcinoma carries good prognosis.
