AB  - The  spleen  was  regarded  by  Galen  as  “an  organ  of  mystery,”  by  Aristotle  as  unnecessary,  and  by  Pliny  as  an  organ  that  might  hinder  the  speed  of  runners.1  In  many  societies,  the  spleen  was  also  thought  to  be  affiliated  with  mood.  The  word  spleen  comes  from  a  Greek  word  that  has  idiomatic  equivalent  of  the  heart  in  English,  that  is,  to  be  good-spleened  means  to  be  good-hearted  or  compassionate.  In  contrast,  the  spleen  has  also  been  associated  with  melancholy,  and  in  19th-century  England,  women  in  bad  humor  were  said  to  be  afflicted  by  the  spleen  or  the  vapors  of  the  spleen.
