Abstract

An 80-year-old male presenting with a high fever and weakness underwent percutaneous drainage of a splenic abscess. Despite a transient improvement he was readmitted 1 week after removal of the catheter because of fever and a deterioration in his physical and mental condition. Operation revealed two abscesses as well as a tumor of the transverse colon with perforation, adherent to the spleen. After drainage of the pus, the spleen and tumor were resected and a colostomy created. Culture yielded Klebsiella and Enterococcus. Histological examination of the spleen revealed multiple foci of metastatic carcinoma of the adenocarcinoma of the colon.
