SPLEEN and ...: In that region is the spleen, as well as left kidney, descending colon, left adrenal, and stomach. I recommend you google or bing abdominal anatomy. Good luck.

Why?: There are several organs on the left side, the left lung, the heart, the stomach, the spleen, the pancreas, the left kidney. However, the location of the organ in relation to the axilla, i.e. Armpit, depends on the breathing cycle. In addition, the location of organ and symptoms, such as pain, do not correlate well.
