Metachronous splenic metastasis from renal cell carcinoma: a case report

The causes of isolated solid splenic lesions are wide and varied, and as such can present a diagnostic challenge. Splenic metastases were previously considered exceptionally rare. We report a case of a patient who had isolated splenic metastases with a previous history of left nephrectomy due to a renal cell carcinoma 3 years before. This report represents the first case reported in our country and wants to add to literature one more case of splenic metastasis from renal cell carcinoma.
