WHAT DOES NEUROMA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

neuroma

Neuroma

A neuroma /njuːˈroʊmə/ is a growth or tumor of nerve tissue. Neuromas tend to be benign; many nerve tumors, including those that are commonly malignant, are nowadays referred to by other terms. Neuromas can arise from different types of nervous tissue, including the nerve fibers and their myelin sheath, as in the case of genuine neoplasms like ganglioneuromas and neurinomas. The term is also used to refer to any swelling of a nerve, even in the absence of abnormal cell growth. In particular, traumatic neuroma results from trauma to a nerve, often during a surgical procedure. Morton's neuroma affects the foot. Neuromas can be painful, or sometimes, as in the case of acoustic neuromas, they can give rise to other symptoms.

Definition of neuroma in the English dictionary

The definition of neuroma in the dictionary is any tumour composed of nerve tissue.
