A swelling, tumor, or abnormal growth arising from brain tissue.
From Greek enkephalos (brain) + -oma (tumor, swelling), medical suffix indicating an abnormal growth or neoplasm of the brain.
The -oma suffix shows up everywhere in medicine (lymphoma, melanoma, carcinoma)—it's how doctors efficiently name tumors by adding this Greek suffix to whatever organ is affected.
