Hemogenia

/ˌhɛmoʊˈdʒiniə/ noun

Definition

The pathological condition of having blood or blood-related components in tissues where they shouldn't normally be found.

Etymology

From Greek 'haima' (blood) and '-genia' (condition of having). This medical term describes abnormal accumulation or presence of blood elements in inappropriate locations.

Kelly Says

Hemogenia might describe bleeding into tissues, or blood elements appearing where they don't belong—it's a sign something has gone wrong with your body's containment system for keeping blood in the right place.
