Pain or discomfort in the upper left abdomen

Due to an enlarged spleen, leukemia patients can also experience abdominal pain and discomfort. Dr. Levis said that he had a patient with chronic leukemia who had a part of the spleen removed due to spleen enlargement.

He also added that the pain felt in the upper left abdomen caused by an enlarged spleen hurts like heck.
