| Abstract: | Metastatic tumors of the spleen are rare and occur in the presence of disseminated visceral metastasis. Isolated splenic metastases from colorectal carcinoma are rare and only 19 cases have been reported in English literature. We report a case of isolated splenic metastasis in a 52-year-old man, occurring 9 years after the primary colorectal mucinous carcinoma was treated by anterior resection. The patient underwent splenectomy along with adjuvant chemotherapy and is alive and asymptomatic at 22 months follow-up. |
