AKA Traube semilunar space. Found on search using "trough space abdomen" and verified on Wikipedia and Stedman's Surgery Words.

TRAUBE'S SPACE? - ProMT

Definition: Traube's (semilunar) space is an anatomic space of some clinical importance. It is a crescent-shaped space, encompassed by the lower edge of the left lung, the anterior border of the spleen, the left costal margin and the inferior margin of the left lobe of the liver.

That's, I left a blank and so did QA. - MT12
