Abstract
Reports of cases of splenic metastasis are very rare, even more so when they are derived from a mucinous adenocarcinoma of the cecum. The most common presentation of a solitary splenic metastasis is from lung primary tumors, endometrium, ovary, cervix, stomach, colon, breast, bladder, and skin. We report the case of an 84-year-old woman with a solitary splenic metastasis from a mucinous adenocarcinoma of the cecum. Until this work, only 18 cases of solitary splenic metastases from colorectal carcinomas have been described in the literature.
