Case Report
Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Transgastric Fine Needle Aspiration of Splenic Metastasis
Authors
Abstract
Splenic metastasis is extremely rare and is part of diffuse carcinomatosis. We present a case of a 60-year-old woman with transitional cell ovarian carcinoma who had hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in the past. She now presented with solitary splenic metastasis, confirmed by endoscopic ultrasound-guided transgastric fine needle aspiration biopsy.
