Splenomegaly is the medical term used to describe an enlarged spleen. An enlarged spleen is not called "Spleenmegaly" (option A), as this is not a recognized medical term. While all options may seem related to the spleen, they are not interchangeable. Splenic hypertrophy (option C) refers to an increase in size of the spleen due to an increase in cell size, rather than an increase in overall size. Splenalgia (option D) is the medical term for pain in the spleen, not enlargement. Therefore, the correct spelling for an enlarged spleen is Splenomegaly (option B).
