Isolated splenic metastasis from clear cell renal carcinoma - A case report

Supreet Kaur Grewal et al. Int J Surg Case Rep. 2016.

Abstract

Back ground: Metastatic deposits in spleen are rare owing to its physiological functions and sharp angle of splenic artery with coelic axis.

Case report: We report a case of a 53year old male with clear cell carcinoma of left kidney. Isolated splenic metastasis was detected on a follow up PET CT scan 2 months post radical nephrectomy. Splenectomy was performed; histopathology confirmed multiple metastatic lesions within the spleen CONCLUSION: Timely treatment of isolated metastasis in case of renal cell carcinoma carries good prognosis.

Keywords: Metastasis; Renal cell carcinoma; Spleen.
