Definition
Plural of glioma; multiple tumors growing from glial cells, typically in the brain or spinal cord.
Etymology
Regular plural formation of glioma by adding -s, though medical terminology sometimes retains the Greek plural form 'gliomata' in formal contexts.
Kelly Says
The word 'gliomas' demonstrates how medical English has two plural systems—you might hear both 'gliomas' and 'gliomata' in a hospital, reflecting the constant tension between modern English plurals and classical scientific terminology.
