A member asked:
Is it possible to see knot on or between your left rib cage if you have a swollen spleen?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Probaly not: The enlarged speen will bulge into the abdomen under the rib cage and will feel firm.

Splenomegaly: If the spleen is very enlarged you could see and or feel it protruding from under your left lower ribs, not between.
