Guest guest Posted December 11, 2000 Report Share Posted December 11, 2000 Thank you!!. I didn't even look under " co " . I was thinking " ch " was where I would find it. I did look under " k " . I am a student and I have a lot to learn. I am glad you guys are here and willing to help all of us who need it.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2000 Report Share Posted December 11, 2000 Hi, Judy ) To look this up, I would look under cond... without knowing the word itself. Knowing the word (basic form of it anyway), I know it is condyloma (which is A wartlike excrescence at the anus or vulva, or on the glans penis). The suffix *oid* means resembling. I cannot document the word condylomatoid. I would guess, without hearing or seeing the actual report, that the doctor meant condylomatous (adjective form) maybe? On the other hand, there is the word condyloid meaning Relating to or resembling a condyle. Condyle is: A rounded articular surface at the extremity of a bone. I hope that I haven't added to the confusion ) Dawn ) Judy wrote: > Hello........I need some help. The word is spelled phonetically > " kon di-LO-mah-toid " . I can not find this word anywhere.

I think perhaps the person dictating is meaning to say " condylomatous, " the adjective form of the following (from Stedman's Online): condyloma, pl. condylomata kon-di-lbcm^, -mahct^ A wartlike excrescence at the anus or vulva, or on the glans penis. Syn: verruca mollusciformis. Origin [G. kondylbma, a knob] I hope this helps. Jayni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
