Abstract
Metastasis of lung carcinoma to spleen is a rare event and mostly diagnosed either at the time of splenectomy or autopsy [1]. Spleen is considered a poor soil for tumor deposits firstly because presence of high population of immune cells and secondly due to production of angiogenesis inhibiting factors which account for the rarity of metastasis to spleen. Spleen metastases are more common from a primary cancer of left lung than the right [2].
