Overview
Some of the leukemic cells may gather in the spleen and cause it to swell; this can have the side effect of making the person feel full even when they haven't eaten much.
Physical Examination
Head
- Enlarged lymph nodes appear in a few patients.
Abdomen
- Massive splenomegaly: This is less likely among patients who are diagnosed through routine blood work, when the disease is at an early stage.
