Suffix
en suffix plural -omata or -omas
en pathology Forming nouns indicating disease or morbidity.
en pathology specifically Forming nouns indicating tumors or masses, which may be non-neoplastic or (more often) neoplastic, and (if the latter) either benign or malignant (cancerous); in accord with present-day understanding of histopathology, the suffix is now nonproductive for non-neoplastic senses.
en -cele -coele
Usage notes
For most nouns formed with en -oma, the plural in en -omas is more common, because the suffix has been naturalized into English, but the plural in en -omata is often preferred by people who believe that the Greek inflection needs to be retained.
