title: [Isolated splenic metastasis revealing colon cancer].
abstract: Splenic metastasis of colon cancer is uncommon especially when isolated. In fact, they are usually associated to multi visceral location. Malignant melanoma, cancer of breast and lung and ovarian carcinoma are the most common cancer which metastases in spleen. Splenic metastasis of colon cancer is rare and exceptionally isolated. Ten cases of isolated splenic metastasis in colon cancer are reported in literature. We report a new case of intra splenic kystic metastasis revealing an asymptomatic sigmoid cancer in a 63 years old patient.
