Splenunculus is simply another word for an accessory spleen—they are identical, and neither means an enlarged spleen.
An accessory spleen (also called a splenunculus, splenule, or supernumerary spleen) is a small, extra piece of normal spleen tissue located outside the main spleen. It is a common congenital variant, found in roughly 10–30% of people, and is typically harmless. The medical term for this is simply accessory spleen or splenunculus.
An enlarged spleen, on the other hand, has a completely different medical name: splenomegaly. Splenomegaly is not a disease itself but a sign of an underlying condition—such as infection, anemia, or cancer—that causes the main spleen to swell. So while “splenunculus” refers to an extra, normal-sized piece of spleen tissue, “enlarged spleen” (splenomegaly) refers to the abnormal swelling of the spleen itself.
