description INTRODUCTION: Solitary splenic metastases are a rare entity. PRESENTATION OF A CASE: We report two consecutive cases of solitary splenic metastases from ovarian and rectal cancer which were completely removed by laparoscopic splenectomy in patients with previous open surgery. The operative time was 165–200 min. The blood loss was 25–100 ml. There were no intra- and postoperative complications. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic splenectomy for solitary splenic metastases seems safe and feasible with short recovery period even in patients with previous open surgery. More research in the area is needed.
