splenic tumors
Splenic tumors are abnormal growths that occur in the spleen, an organ located in the upper left abdomen. These tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) and may arise from the spleen's own cells or spread from other parts of the body. Symptoms can include abdominal pain, swelling, or feeling full after eating a small amount.
Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests like ultrasound or CT scans, and sometimes a biopsy is performed to determine the nature of the tumor. Treatment options vary based on the type and stage of the tumor, ranging from monitoring to surgical removal of the spleen, known as splenectomy.
