Abstract

Introduction: The spleen is a large haemo-lymphoid organ that are situated in the left hypochondrium andis partly in the epigastrium. Anatomically, it is placed between the fundus of stomach and diaphragm opposite to the 9th to 11th ribs. Spleen is an enormously vascular, soft and friable organ which is more or less purple in colour and moves with respiration.The importance of the spleen in protection from infection was actively neglected and it was thought that the other lymphatic organs of the body could take over its functions. Currently, a total splenectomy is vastly replaced by partial splenectomy by surgeons. Therefore, this study is meant to be carried out to find the morphology of spleen and its variations.
