Isolated Distant Splenic Metastasis in a Newly Diagnosed Case of Breast Carcinoma Detected on 18F-fludeoxyglucose-18 Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography

Abstract Breast cancer is the most common malignancy prevalent among women worldwide. Metastasis to regional lymph nodes, bones, lungs, liver, and brain is quite common; however, there have been very few cases in literature reporting metastatic spread of breast carcinoma to the spleen. Here, we present one such case of a 62-year-old female with carcinoma of the left breast presenting with isolated distant metastasis to splenic parenchyma detected in pretreatment staging 18 F-fludeoxyglucose-18 positron emission tomography/computed tomography scan.
