Abstract
The aim of the present study was to determine the weight of the normal spleen based upon a retrospective material of 539 medico-legal autopsies. Only cases above 20 years of age without indication of disease or conditions known to influence the spleen weight were included. It is found that the spleen weight is positively correlated to height, body weight and degree of acute congestion but not to sex or age. A table in which the spleen weight is correlated to height and weight is presented. The table can be used for comparison with the actual findings at an autopsy.
