Describing something that relates to, is affected by, or is characteristic of carcinoma.
From 'carcinoma' plus '-ous' (full of, relating to). This adjective allows medical professionals to precisely describe tissues, fluids, or conditions involving carcinomas.
When a pathologist says 'carcinomatous involvement,' they mean cancer cells have infiltrated that tissue—it's precise medical language that tells other doctors exactly what's happening without saying 'there's cancer here.'
