Abstract
Splenic metastasis is a rare clinical entity--incidence being 0.6% at autopsy and 1.1% at splenectomy. We report the case of a 30 year old female who presented with purpura and melena and who was later diagnosed to have a mucinous adenocarcinoma of stomach with disseminated intravascular coagulation and splenic metastasis.
