neoplasia
same — but rarely used in everyday English
⚠️ La trampa
In Italian medical speech, 'neoplasia' is used by doctors when they want to avoid alarming patients (it sounds more clinical than 'tumore'). In English, doctors say 'tumour' or 'growth' for the same reason. 'Neoplasia' in English sounds overly technical.
Para decir "same — but rarely used in everyday English" en italiano:
tumore, neoplasia (both used)
"neoplasia" en español significa:
tumour, neoplasm (can be benign or malignant)
Ejemplo
"Gli esami hanno rivelato una neoplasia benigna."
"The tests revealed a benign tumour."
