Spleen enlargement is an enlargement of the spleen beyond its normal size. The spleen is located on the left side of the abdomen and weighs around 200g (8oz) in the average healthy adult. The spleen can be considered a dual-purpose organ: it filters the blood and removes abnormal cells, and it makes disease-fighting components of the immune system. Since the spleen is involved in so many bodily functions, it is vulnerable to a wide range of disorders involving the blood or lymph system, and by infection, malignancies, liver disease, or parasites.

The spleen in Traditional Chinese Medicine terms is regarded as a very important organ and now recent research has proven that a specific acupuncture point, yinlingquan on the Spleen meridian on the leg, actually increases the blood supply to the spleen. The acupuncture point yinlingquan is classified as He-Sea point which means that the energy and blood can be directed into the spleen organ when it is needled. Research like this is quite exciting as modern science is verifying age old traditional Chinese medical concepts.
