CONCLUSION:
Splenic metastases from solid tumors are considered rare, and few cases
have been reported in the literature. Common primary sources of splenic
metastasis include breast, lung, colorectal, and ovarian carcinomas.
This case of splenic metastasis was secondary to colorectal cancer,
detected in a follow-up CT 2 years after surgery and adjuvant
chemotherapy. Patient underwent splenectomy and referred to oncology for
adjuvant chemotherapy. Splenectomy followed by adjuvant chemotherapy has
been found to improve survival in patients with spleen metastasis from
colorectal cancer
