A member asked:
Consultant report said prominent spleen was seen during colonoscopy - if not possible? what was most likely seen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Spleen: If the spleen was prominent, it had nothing to do with the colonoscopy, but it is something that needs to be looked into. A hematologist can help
