Abstract
Spleen is a haemo‐lymphatic organ in the human body. It is the largest and clinically important lymphoid organ. It can show a wide range of variation the knowledge of which is important for physicians, surgeons and radiologists. Spleen is a part of circulatory system, it is generally described with the lymphatic organs because of very large population of lymphocytes present in it. In surgical and medical history spleen has been described as a mysterious organ. Clear understanding and appreciation of its function emerged only later half of the 20th century. The present study conducted with total 78 human adult cadaveric spleen of both sexes were included. All the spleens were studied for the following parameters. Spleens were studied for their shapes and percentage of different shapes were calculated. Weight of the spleen was measured. Length, thickness and width of the spleen were recorded. Notches on the superior and inferior borders were studied and the presence of multiple notches were also noted. In our study we have found the different shapes of spleens, that includes wedge shaped, triangular, oval, tetrahedral, heart shaped, semi lunar and irregular. We have observed for the notches on the borders of all spleens. The number of notches varied from zero to four, but in most of the spleens there were one prominent notch or two notches. Average weight around 325g. Average length of the spleen was 8.67 cm. Average breadth of the spleen was 6.26 cm and average thickness was 3.35 cm.
