Resumo

Splenic metastasis is rare, and is usually associated with disseminated malignancy. The primary tumours more frequently related with splenic metastasis are lung, breast, gynaecologic, specially ovary tumours, colon, rectum and melanoma. Isolated secondary splenic disease is rare, but it is described, often associated to ovary cancer. We report a 55 years old women with parenchymal splenic metastases of serous ovary cystadenocarcinoma in the 5th follow up year. This patient had positive peritoneal washings chytology but not macroscopic disease. We discuss the secondary splenic involvement of ovary cancer, dissemination route, prognosis and role of splenectomy as treatment modality in this unusual recurrence site in ovary cancers.
