“…In this study, we analyzed 39 previously published cases (22 males, 17 females; age range, 33 to 84 years; mean, 64 years) of isolated splenic metastasis derived from CRC (Table 1). [5,8,10,14,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46] Among them, 35 cases were metachronous metastasis and only 4 cases were synchronous metastasis. Interestingly, in terms of splenic lesions, there were only 4 cases of multiple metachronous splenic metastases, and most cases [34] were solitary.…”

“…[ 6 , 7 ] In this context, isolated splenic metastasis derived from colorectal carcinoma is even rarer and only a few cases have been documented in the literature. [ 8 ] Based on the formation time of metastasis, splenic metastasis can be divided into synchronous and metachronous metastasis. Synchronous metastasis means that the splenic lesion is discovered by imaging studies together with the primary tumor.…”

Introduction: Isolated splenic metastasis emanating from colorectal cancer is an extremely rare finding, which usually indicates widely disseminated and multiple metastatic cancer. There have only been 39 cases of isolated splenic metastasis reported in the English literature to date. Patient concerns: An 84-year-old female patient presented to our department with dark-red bloody stool that had persisted for 1 month and with an increased serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level. Diagnoses: A colonoscopy showed a rectal mass located 3 cm from the anal margin, which was 45 mm in diameter. The patient was diagnosed with rectal cancer with splenic metastases by abdomen computed tomography. Interventions: The patient underwent a radical resection of rectal cancer and splenectomy, and the postoperative histopathology confirmed that the splenic lesions were derived from the adenocarcinoma of the rectum. Outcomes: After surgical treatment, the patient recovered well and was recommended for further chemotherapy. Conclusions: In addition to revealing a rare case, we also performed a literature review, including a brief discussion about the atypical isolated splenic metastasis from colorectal cancer. Our findings enrich the database of this rare clinical entity and provide experience in the management of splenic metastasis.

“…Splenic metastasis has been discovered from primary tumors of liver, breast, colorectum, lung, and ovarian cancer; however, the most common is from melanoma (6,7). In this context, isolated splenic metastasis derived from colorectal carcinoma is even rarer, and is usually reckoned as part of disseminated metastatic disease (8). Based on the formation time of metastasis, splenic metastasis can be divided into synchronous and metachronous metastasis.…”

Background: Isolated splenic metastasis emanating from colorectal cancer is an extremely rare finding, which usually indicates widely disseminated and multiple metastatic cancer. There have only been 39 cases of isolated splenic metastasis reported in the English literature to date. Case presentation: We report a case of synchronous and isolated multiple splenic metastases derived from rectal cancer. An 84-year-old woman, who presented with and an increased serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level, was diagnosed with rectal cancer with splenic metastases by abdomen computed tomography (CT). The patient underwent a radical resection of rectal cancer and splenectomy, and the postoperative histopathology conﬁrmed that the splenic lesions were derived from the adenocarcinoma of the rectum. After surgery, the patient recovered well and was recommended for further chemotherapy. Conclusion: Our findings enrich the database of this rare clinical entity and provide experience in the management of splenic metastasis. In addition to revealing a rare case, we also performed a literature review, including a brief discussion about the atypical isolated splenic metastasis from colorectal cancer (CRC).
