A member asked:
Signs and symptoms of enlarged spleen and where would the mass be located ? would it be hard or soft and palpable or not
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Under left ribs: The spleen is hard to feel unless it is very enlarged. It is a very soft organ but in some conditions it becomes very swollen and tense. In that case you can feel the edge of it below the left lower rib cage.
