Has anyone had an ultrasound report with a slightly enlarged spleen?

Thanks,

Yep, my sister. It was only minor and temporary......

Same here, a few times. No one can tell me why, but it just happens.

did you have mono recently? that can caused an enlarged spleen.

Thanks for the replies. It is actually my husband who has the slighlty enlarged spleen. It showed up on his U/S from this week. It said slightly enlarged. The GI didn't seem concerned, he has not had mono, but he is still undx. I thought I had read that gallbladder, pancreas, & spleen issuse are related to Celiac and Gluten Intolerance. Just one more thing to add to the list of symptoms. Thanks again for the replies.

Mine is. It was found during a CAT scan. Nobody seemed overly concerned about it.

Hi jennifer,

My daughter had swollen glands all over her body, with extreme aches, high fevers, nausea, and vomitting. After a miraid of tests she came up with an extreme case of Epstien Barr (mono). She had a sonogram and a cat scan with barium. Her liver and spleen were both very swollen and all the liver enzymes were off. It is impotant to be very careful with a swollen spleen, because if it he gets hit in the stomach or falls on that area, the spleen can burst.

Take care of him, and I hope he feels better soon,

Wendy
