Abstract

Solitary splenic metastasis is a rare condition. We performed hand-assisted laparoscopic splenectomy (HALS) for a solitary splenic metastasis from a uterine corpus carcinoma that had directly invaded the wall of the stomach. HALS is a superior technique that offers the advantages of both open and laparoscopic splenectomy, and it may become one of the options for the management of primary and secondary cancer of the spleen.
