4:06 pm

hokie carla

4:07 pm

hokie carla

kind of a cancer ending, nan

4:07 pm

hurshy

disease or condition (idk if it's harmful or not, would have to look it up)

4:08 pm

hurshy

the ending just means it's some kind of "mass" i think. but there are some masses that are totally benign, so while the ending is used with various cancers it's also used for other masses

4:08 pm

hokie carla

it's technically a tumor of muscular tissue per the def

4:10 pm

hurshy

some odd little words today
