The spleen is an internal organ that removes old blood cells from the cat's circulatory system and holds a reserve of blood in case of injury.

The spleen is well protected, so the cat would have to receive a traumatic injury for this to happen.

The swelling might be from the blood filling his body cavity, which would have also drawn blood away from his ears. The things you describe are normal for a ruptured spleen, but only the vet can tell you the cause of that.
