#swelling

• Abubă — A popular, archaic, or regional medical term used in old rural communities to designate a painful skin swelling, a benign tumor, an infected abscess, or an inflamed pustule. Although its use has severely declined in modern speech, the word retains high ethnolinguistic value, referring to acute cutaneous manifestations treated in the past through empirical remedies and folk charms by village healers.
• Adenoncosis — A rare pathological condition or niche clinical term designating the enlargement, swelling, or generalized hypertrophy of a gland or a lymph node, without necessarily implying a structural malignant process. This phenomenon occurs as a result of benign cellular proliferation, prolonged stasis of glandular secretions, or within chronic inflammatory reactions of diverse etiology.
• Anasarca — A severe clinical syndrome characterized by generalized and massive edema, consisting of the pathological and excessive accumulation of serous fluid throughout the subcutaneous cellular tissue, accompanied by fluid effusions in the major serous cavities of the body (pleura, pericardium, peritoneum). This critical structural state represents an advanced manifestation of serious disorders, such as decompensated heart failure, nephrotic syndrome, decompensated liver cirrhosis, or severe protein malnutrition.
• Blackleg disease — An archaic and popular designation for a highly dangerous infectious disease affecting cattle (often associated with anthrax), characterized by severe swelling on the hindquarters or upper thighs, leading to paralysis. The name shares roots with the milk thistle plant used historically to treat it.
