Tumbo (Tומה)

A Tumbo (Tומה) is a type of benign growth or swelling that can develop in or on the body. It generally refers to a localized mass of tissue, which may result from excess cell division or fluid accumulation. While some tumboes are harmless and do not cause symptoms, others can grow large or press against nearby structures, potentially causing discomfort or health issues. Diagnosis typically involves medical examination and imaging, with treatment varying from observation to surgical removal if necessary. The term is often used in regional language contexts, but medically, it indicates a growth that warrants evaluation.
