Metastatic disease of the spleen is uncommon and associated with widely disseminated disease. Isolated metastases are extremely rare and are restricted to anecdotal reports in medical literature. Patients are usually asymptomatic or have nonspecific symptoms such as vague abdominal pain and fatigue. We report a 74 year old man who presented with abdominal pain weight loss and was diagnosed with isolated splenic metastasis from primary non small cell carcinoma of the lung.
