What does STRUMA mean in Scrabble?
noun
medicalarchaic
An abnormal swelling of the thyroid gland in the neck, or an older name for tuberculosis of the lymph glands.
Struma is Latin for a scrofulous swelling, and doctors long used it for the swollen throat now usually called a goitre. Older texts also apply it to the glandular tuberculosis that was once known as the evil of kings. Botanists took the word for a cushion-shaped swelling at the base of a moss capsule, and the Struma is also a river in the Balkans, though that is a name rather than this noun.
How STRUMA is used
Mostly archaic or technical today; modern medicine prefers goitre for the thyroid sense.
