A member asked:
I have a cyst on my spleen 6.8cm. my dr wants to remove my spleen. the cyst has a lot of calcification is this a reason to remove the spleen?

Seems excessive: But may be justified based upon data not in your story. The problem is you have a picture of calcifications and a cyst. You do not yet have a diagnosis. There are other less invasive ways to get a diagnosis which might be good alternatives.
