Think about the abdominal regional map: the stomach sits mainly in the epigastric region, the central upper area, with parts extending into the left hypochondriac region. The spleen is located in the left hypochondriac region, the upper left part of the abdomen. Since these two organs occupy the epigastric region and the left hypochondriac region, those are the terms that describe their locations. The other areas described aren’t where these organs are situated—the umbilical region centers around the navel, the lower right quadrant is far from them, and the right hypochondriac region is the upper right area.
