Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Splenic metastases are rare, found in 3.1% of autopsies with widespread solid tumors. Melanoma and lung cancer were common primary sources, possibly linked to portal congestion.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology
  • Radiology

Context:

  • Autopsy studies on disseminated solid tumors.
  • Investigating metastatic patterns in cancer patients.
  • Understanding rare sites of cancer spread.

Purpose:

  • To determine the incidence and primary tumor types associated with splenic metastases.
  • To explore potential mechanisms, such as portal congestion, contributing to splenic metastasis.

Summary:

  • Splenic metastases were identified in 58 out of 1842 autopsy cases (3.1%) with widely disseminated solid tumors.
  • Melanoma, lung, breast, uterine, and liver cancers were the most frequent primary tumors associated with splenic involvement.
  • This rare hematogenous metastatic spread may be associated with portal congestion.

Impact:

  • Highlights the spleen as a potential metastatic site in advanced cancers.
  • Provides data on the frequency and origin of splenic metastases.
  • Suggests portal congestion as a potential factor in the pathogenesis of splenic metastases.
