A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not to worry: A splenule is usu. a piece of normal spleen that got lost when the organ was forming. It is happy on its own and it is sort of like a fingerprint for you. It is present in about 12% of normal people: http://search.proquest.com/openview/15086eac2ac9a9d3f63ec57c8b5daf58/1?pq-origsite=gscholar Of course that says nothing about your abd. pain which may still need work up.
