Abstract

Primary and metastatic tumors of the spleen are uncommon, excluding involvement by lymphoma. Isolated spleen metastasis from other organs is a rare incident. Herein, we report the case of a 59-year-old man who developed isolated splenic metastasis from ascending colon cancer. The patient underwent right hemicolectomy for T3N1M0 tumor of the ascending colon. During the postoperative follow-up, increasing serum level of carcinoembryonic antigen was observed. Furthermore, abdominal computed tomography scan showed a splenic tumor measuring 4 cm. Curative splenectomy was performed. Pathologic investigation confirmed the adenocarcinoma metastasis. The interesting point of our report is that the spleen metastasis arose from the ascending colon. This report is the third described case in the literature of isolated spleen metastasis from a right colon carcinoma.

Özet

Dalağın primer ve metastatik tümörleri lenfoma tutulumu dışında yaygın olmayan bir durumdur. Klinisyenler, diğer organ tümörlerinden kaynaklanan izole dalak metastazıyla nadiren karşılaşırlar. Biz burada 59 yaşında çıkan kolon kanserinden kaynaklanan erkek bir olguyu sunduk. Hasta T3N1M0 çıkan kolon tümörü nedeni ile sağ hemikolektomi geçirmişti. Ameliyat sonrası takiplerde serum karsino-embriyonik antijen düzeylerinin arttığı fark edildi. Ardından karın bilgisayarlı tomografisi çekildi ve 4 cm çapında dalak tümörü görüldü. Hastaya küratif splenektomi yapıldı. Patolojik çalışma adenokarsinom metastazı olduğunu doğruladı. Olgumuzun ilginç yanı dalak metastazının özellikle çıkan kolondan kaynaklanmış olmasıdır. Olgumuz literatürde çıkan kolondan kaynaklanan izole dalak metastazlı üçüncü olgudur.
