Background/aim: Solitary metastases after surgically-treated cervical cancer are a rare entity, with only few cases described so far.

Patient And Methods: We present the case of a 31-year-old patient diagnosed with a tumoral splenic lesion at 18 months after surgically-treated cervical cancer.

Results: The patient was submitted to surgery, with a splenectomy being performed. The histopathological studies confirmed the presence of a squamous cell cervical cancer splenic metastasis. At one year follow-up after splenectomy, the patient is free of any recurrent disease.

Conclusion: Solitary splenic metastases after surgically-treated cervical cancer are rarely seen; however, this diagnostic should not be omitted whenever a medical history of cervical cancer is present.
