sérome
The English word seroma is translated into French as sérome.
The term is used to refer to a seroma.
Did you know?
- The term sérome shares its root with the French word serein, which historically described a clear night sky and the dew that falls from it.
- While sérome is the technical term, French patients often describe the sensation of a seroma as having a poche d'eau, which means 'pocket of water'.
- Laypeople in France frequently confuse sérome with sérum, though the latter specifically refers to blood serum or an antitoxin.
