A benign tumor or growth of the enamel organ in teeth (medical/dental term).
From enamel + -oma (tumor or abnormal growth). The -oma suffix comes from Greek 'onkoma' meaning swelling. This is medical terminology combining dental terminology with pathological nomenclature.
Enamelomas are rare dental growths that appear during tooth development—they're usually discovered accidentally on X-rays and are harmless, but they show how complex tooth formation really is at the microscopic level.
