J Surg Case Rep. 2013 Jul 23;2013(7):rjt051. doi: 10.1093/jscr/rjt051.

Abstract

Splenic metastasis of solid organ tumors is rare; even more so is splenic rupture from metastatic disease. We report a case of a 61-year-old male who presented with splenic rupture and hemodynamic instability, secondary to malignant metastasis from a recently diagnosed left lung cancer.
