title: [Unusual association of hemolytic anemia and splenic metastases in a case of breast carcinoma].
abstract: An unusual case of splenic metastasis associated with haemolytic anaemia in a patient with breast cancer is reported. Attention is drawn to the rarity of invasion of the spleen, and an account is given of the causes of haemolytic anaemia in carcinomatosis. A spectacular response to splenectomy was observed in the case reported.
