Solitary splenic metastasis from gastric cancer: report of a case.

We report a rare case of metachronous and solitary metastasis to the spleen from gastric cancer. A 69-year-old man who had undergone a distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer 48 months earlier was found to have a solitary lesion in the spleen, and an increased serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level. The patient underwent a laparotomy for suspected metastasis to the spleen.
