A medical condition or abnormal growth related to mucous membrane inflammation or excessive mucus production.
From Greek 'blenna' (mucus) + '-oma' (tumor, swelling, condition). The term is rare in modern medicine but appears in older medical texts.
The suffix '-oma' typically means 'tumor' (like 'carcinoma' or 'melanoma'), but in older medical language it could also just mean an abnormal condition—which is why 'blennoma' isn't necessarily a cancer.
