Member Since: May 2007 Posts: 96 Send Message	I had a death certificate with the condition of AREINOMA then apparently "of decay" or something similar, as a secondary condition to exhaustion. I have googled it but I got bogged down in the medical terminology, and can't actually find a definition for it, I don't have a BIG dictionary here, can anyone find anything out about it? Many thanks

	It doesn't exist, you must have misread it. Are you sure it doesn't say carcinoma?

	It definitely exists, it's all over Google. I'd agree with Kay, something to do with tumours. MaryMc

	Everywhere there is a reference to AREINOMA , they seem to be talking about cancer. MaryMc

	Well done Marilyn :) Although the link doesn't work?
Member Since: February 2003 Posts: 771 Send Message	MaryMc	Report	18 Dec 2007 05:46
	Well, I just found someone who had AREINOMA of the rectum on Google! Maybe not always the lips then. MaryMc

	Sorry, but I'm afraid the word really doesn't exist. You won't find it in any medical dictionary. All those alleged hits on google are typos, mostly for carcinoma, caused by OCR programs.

	I wonder if it says this?? uri·no·ma : a cyst that contains urine
Member Since: February 2003 Posts: 771 Send Message	MaryMc	Report	18 Dec 2007 06:09
	or is it this? arrhenoma - testicular cancer

Member Since: March 2007 Posts: 99 Send Message	It does exist .It's a form of cancer.You can get it all over. Even in the breast. Marilyn

	Ok, I asked my son - he's an advanced Paramedic. His answer "I can't be precise; however, it is a form of tumorous growth (not necessarily malignant)." MaryMc

	Marilyn and MaryMc, I'm sorry, I do know what I'm talking about. The word is carcinoma. It means cancer. If you don't believe me, just look in any medical dictionary. I have a whole pile of them here. This thread is a good demonstration of the fact that you can't just rely on any old thing you find on Google. If you look at all those hits for areinoma you'll see that the texts have been badly OCR'd, and should say "carcinoma". The first hit's a good example: it says "cell line of hum an lung adenoc areinoma", but it should say "cell line of human lung adenocarcinoma". I shall be happy to eat my words if anyone can find areinoma in a dictionary.
