Plural of chiloma; abnormal lip thickening or enlargement, especially of the lower lip.
Greek kheilos (lip) + -oma (abnormal growth or tumor); medical terminology using classical Greek roots to describe physical conditions.
Medical terms use Greek and Latin like a secret language—'chilomata' breaks down to 'chilo-' (lip) and '-mata' (condition), so doctors can describe almost any body problem by knowing these building blocks.
