“…Only 26 cases of isolated solitary splenic metastasis from colorectal carcinoma have been reported in the English-language literature (Tables 1, 2) [4,5,9,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. Twenty-one cases were separately reported and five cases were described in two reports of patients with splenic metastases (one case in Lee et al [20] and four cases in Ishida et al [17]).…”

“…Three possible routes of the tumor spread to the spleen have been considered: via the splenic artery, in a retrograde manner through the splenic vein, and through the lymphatics. 22 The tumor in the present patient was considered to have been caused by hematogenous spread, because no positive nodal metastases were found following a splenectomy. The ordinary route of splenic metastasis from gastric cancer was thought to be through the splenic artery, as it is usually accompanied by multiple organ metastases.…”

“…A total of 26 such patients have been reported in the literature: 6 in the English-language literature (Medline version 7.0.5; Ovid Technologies, NY, USA), [7][8][9][10][11][12] 19 in the Japanese literature (Igaku Chuo Zasshi; Japan Medical Abstracts Society, Tokyo, Japan), [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] and another case 31 in the reference list of the article by Mori et al 28 Two of the 26 cases were excluded because the patients' outcomes after splenectomy were not recorded in the reports. 12,30 The remaining 24 cases were included in this study. We conducted, a review of our two patients and the 24 cases from the literature; we classified the patients into two groups: these with isolated splenic metastasis (Table 1) and those with non-isolated metastasis ( Table 2).…”
