While the provided search results don't specifically discuss enlarged spleen in lupus patients, they do indicate that lupus can cause inflammation affecting different parts of the body. Since this is a concerning symptom, it's important to discuss any abdominal swelling or pain with your doctor right away.

Common inflammatory conditions with lupus can include:
• Peritonitis (inflammation of the abdominal lining)
• Vasculitis (inflammation of intestinal blood vessels)
• Lupus enteritis (inflammation of the bowel wall)
• Pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) If you're experiencing abdominal swelling or discomfort, your doctor can help diagnose any underlying inflammatory conditions and work with you to develop an appropriate treatment plan. They may need to adjust your current medications or recommend additional treatments to help manage inflammation.

I have an enlarged spleen. I don't know the exact cause, but I have had a fatty enlarged liver for at least 5 years.
