1. Abstract
Primary splenic tumors and splenic metastases are uncommon, and metastatic splenic tumors are even rarer [1]. According to reports, the most common source of splenic metastases include melanoma, tumors of the breast, lung, ovary, colon, stomach, and pancreas [2-3]. Splenic metastases after rectal cancer surgery is very rare. This paper reports a case of a patient with splenic metastases from rectal cancer 5 years after surgery. We discuss the route of metastasis and treatment of this case.
