I can understand your concern. your spleen size is increasing. now there are many causes for that. but as you have no tumour according to your usg report. you have prominent vein on abdomen. so you may have portal hypertension due to any reason.

Investigate for that and take treatment accordingly. hope i have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
