Metastatic lesions of the spleen are a rare finding and are generally associated with widespread disease. Moreover, solitary metastases of the spleen are exceptional. In this paper, we describe the case of a patient who developed an isolated splenic metastasis from colon carcinoma five years after surgery, and was successfully treated by splenectomy. We also review the scant literature experience discussing clinical diagnosis and approaches to this uncommon event.
脾脏转移性病变是一种罕见的发现,通常与广泛的疾病相关。此外,脾脏孤立性转移极为罕见。在本文中,我们描述了一例患者的病例,该患者在结肠癌手术后五年出现了孤立性脾脏转移,并通过脾切除术成功治愈。我们还回顾了关于这一罕见事件的临床诊断及处理方法的少量文献经验。
