Splenic Metastasis of Endometrial Carcinoma Manifesting as a Hemorrhagic Splenic Cyst 17 Years After Surgery
ABSTRACT
Splenic metastases from solid tumors are rare, particularly when they occur after a long postsurgical interval. We report the case of a 69‐year‐old woman who developed a splenic metastasis from endometrial carcinoma, presenting as a hemorrhagic splenic cyst, 17 years after her initial surgery. Laparoscopic splenectomy achieving R0 resection was successfully performed; however, the patient subsequently developed multiple liver metastases. This case highlights the importance of periodic evaluation for recurrence, including monitoring for symptoms and elevated tumor markers, in patients with a history of endometrial carcinoma or other solid tumors.
