title: Isolated Metachronous Splenic Metastasis From Colon Cancer Found by 18F-FDG PET/CT.
abstract: Isolated splenic metastases from solid malignancies are very rare. We report the case of a 58-year-old woman with isolated metachronous splenic metastasis from colon cancer detected 18 months after colectomy. F-FDG PET/CT allowed its recognition and guided the therapeutic approach toward surgery.
