Angiomata

/ˌændʒioʊˈmɑːtə/ noun

Definition

A Greek-derived plural form of angioma; multiple benign vascular tumors, especially used in medical literature.

Etymology

From Greek 'angioma' using the classical '-ata' plural ending, which many medical terms preserve from their Greek origins.

Kelly Says

Medical terminology is delightfully quirky: you can say 'angiomas' or 'angiomata,' and both are correct because doctors sometimes keep the original Greek plural forms—it's like how 'crisis' becomes 'crises' instead of 'crisises.'
