The spleen plays a role in filtering the blood and immune response, so it can be affected by infections like mono (mononucleosis).

It's important to avoid strenuous physical activity if you have an enlarged spleen due to mono to prevent complications like splenic rupture.

What organ leaves an impression on the surface of the spleen?
Spleen: (Moore p263-264, Fig.2.46.,p256) The spleen is a large lymphoid organ which resides in the left upper quadrant (left hypochondriac region). It is the largest aggregation of lymphoid tissue in the body. It has a diaphragmatic surface and visceral surface. The visceral surface becomes impressed by surrounding organs in the cadaver forming: (1) the gastric surface where it contacts the stomach; (2) the renal surface where it contacts the left kidney; and (3) the colic surface where it contacts the transverse colon. These impressions demonstrate the relationships of the spleen in the living organism. The hilus of the spleen is the region where the vessels enter and leave. Arterial supply: splenic artery from celiac trunk.
