Aim: To conduct a morphometric analysis of an adult human spleen in a cadaver. Material and methods: The current investigation was carried out on a total of forty adult human cadaveric spleens that were obtained from the Anatomy Department. Every single spleen was scrutinized for its morphometric characteristics, such as its form and the amount of notches on its borders. Additionally, a vernier calliper was used to obtain measurements of the organ's length, width, and thickness. Results: There were five distinct forms of the spleen among the total of forty spleens that were examined. 17 spleens had a wedge form, accounting for 52.5% of the total, 9 spleens had a triangular shape, accounting for 22.5% of the total, 6 spleens had a tetrahedral shape accounting for 15% of the total, 4 spleens had an oval shape accounting for 10% of the total, and 4 spleens had an irregular shape accounting for 10% of the total. It was determined whether or not any of the spleens had notch marks on them. 25 spleens had notches on their superior borders, 2 spleens had notches on their inferior borders, 9 spleens had notches in both their superior and inferior borders, and 4 spleens did not have any notches on either of their borders. The percentage of spleens that did not have any notches on either of their borders was 10%. Conclusion: During normal clinical tests, having an understanding of the morphometric variances that might occur is beneficial for clinicians, surgeons, and radiologists. During spleen transplantations and surgical operations, these changes need to be taken into consideration in order to distinguish the condition from splenic damage.
