Rare case of isolated splenic metastases from gastric cancer detected with fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography
A 55-year-old male patient diagnosed as gastric cancer involving fundus and gastroesophageal junction underwent distal esophagogastrectomy a year before. He presented with the left side abdominal pain and was referred for the whole body PET/CT to differentiate it as benign or malignant and to rule out any other sites of metastasis. PET/CT revealed intense uptake in the hypodense lesion in the spleen and no other sites of metastasis []. Splenectomy was performed, which confirmed metastasis from gastric cancer.
