LUQ anatomy: Anatomically, the left upper quadrant (luq) of abdomen includes: spleen, pancreatic tail, stomach, descending duodenum, splenic flexure of the colon, associated vessels. Don't forget the diaphragm, heart, ; lower chest are pretty close by. The abdominal musculature, ribs, and skin can all contribute as well to localizing luq pain. Exam is appropriate for reassurance, diagnostic clarity, treatment.
