Splenic involvement by carcinomatous metastases occurs late in the course of widely disseminated disease. Solitary metastasis to the spleen from a primary of any source is an uncommon event.

There are thirteen other reported cases of solitary splenic metastasis from gynecological cancers; in four of these reports the source was endometrial.
