Your spleen is an organ located just below your left rib cage. Many conditions â including infections, liver disease and some cancers â can cause an enlarged spleen, also known as splenomegaly (spleh-no-MEG-uh-lee). An enlarged spleen usually doesn't cause symptoms. It's often discovered during a routine physical exam.
The spleen is a vital organ that filters and eliminates infection causing agents from the blood. It also gets rid of old, abnormal blood cells and maintains a normal supply of healthy cells. In normal conditions, the spleen is roughly the size of our fist. When it gets inflamed and swollen, the size increases considerably; and the condition is called splenomegaly. The chief symptom is pain. At first, pain is felt in the upper abdomen; it gradually extends to the left shoulder.
