كيفية الاستخدام
When referring to a medical tumor, the Portuguese word is 'tumor'. It's a direct cognate and generally easy to remember. It's a masculine noun, so you'll use 'o tumor' (the tumor) or 'um tumor' (a tumor).
A common mistake might be confusing it with 'inchaço' (swelling) or 'caroço' (lump). While a tumor can be a lump or cause swelling, 'tumor' specifically refers to the abnormal growth of cells. So, while you might say 'Eu tenho um caroço no pescoço' (I have a lump on my neck), you would say 'Ele foi diagnosticado com um tumor cerebral' (He was diagnosed with a brain tumor).
