Pseudo-splenomegaly as a result of subphrenic abscess.

J Snape, A R Baker, Y Rees.   

Abstract

A case of left-sided subphrenic abscess, secondary to perforation of a carcinoma of stomach, is described. The patient presented with a palpable spleen which was shown to be normal in size but displaced by the subphrenic collection. The importance of correct interpretation of this physical sign is discussed.
