An alternative plural form of choriocarcinoma, using the classical Greek or Latin pluralization, referring to multiple placental origin cancers.
From choriocarcinoma with the Greek/Latin plural ending -ata instead of the English -s, common in medical terminology.
This word shows how medical terminology preserves Greek and Latin traditions even in English—doctors might say 'carcinomata' in formal reports just to sound more scientifically precise, even though 'carcinomas' means the same thing!
