What is considered a large spleen?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
If it can be felt: In general, the doctor usually cannot feel the spleen in the left upper abdomen unless the patient is very thin. If it can be felt in a normal size person, it is considered enlarged. By ultrasound criteria, a measurement of over 12 cm is considered large, but even that isn't written in stone.

Large spleen: Generally the spleen is 7-14cm in size. Greater than 14cm is considered large.
