Isolated parenchymal splenic metastasis in epithelial ovarian cancer.
Metastatic parenchymal splenic disease in patients with ovarian cancer is unusual. It is most commonly seen in the presence of large-volume upper abdominal disease when parenchymal involvement occurs by surface extension. A patient with isolated parenchymal splenic metastasis and no peritoneal disease in the abdomen at primary surgery is described.
