Abstract

The most common sites for breast cancer metastasis include the bones, lungs, liver, lymph nodes, and brain. How-ever, splenic metastasis of breast cancer is extremely rare. Hypersplenism occurs as a cause of severe hemolytic anemia in carcinomas or with marked splenic enlargement related to splenic metastasis. We presented a rare case of breast cancer with splenic metastasis that was undergone splenectomy to correct cytopenia related to hypersplenism. In the light of this case, splenectomy can be beneficial in the patients with hypersplenism.

Abstract

Meme kanserinin en sık metastaz bölgeleri kemikler, akciğerler, karaciğer, lenf nodları ve beyindir. Meme kanserinin dalağa metastazı ise çok nadirdir. Hipersplenizm, karsinomalarda ciddi hemolitik aneminin bir nedeni olarak veya da-lak metastazına bağlı aşırı dalak büyümesiyle ortaya çıkar. Hipersplenizme bağlı pansitopeninin tedavisinde splenek-tomi yararlı olabilmektedir. Biz hipersplenizm ile ilişkili sitopeniyi düzeltmek için splenektomi yapılan dalak metastazlı nadir bir meme kanseri olgusunu sunduk. Bu olgunun ışığında metastatik kanserli hastalarda dalak metastazına bağlı oluşan hipersplenizm tedavisinde splenektomi faydalı olabilmektedir.
