Dadénomes

Dadénomes is not a widely recognized term in contemporary biomedical literature. In medical contexts, the standard term is adenoma, a benign tumor arising from glandular tissue. The spelling dadénomes is sometimes encountered as a nonstandard variant or as a transcription or transliteration error of adénomes (the French plural form often used in medical writing) rather than as a distinct clinical category.

In addition to its occasional medical misrendering, the word appears in speculative biology and science fiction to describe hypothetical gland‑like cells, tissues, or organelles. In those contexts, there is no accepted scientific consensus or formal definition; uses are typically narrative or theoretical, rather than based on established pathology or anatomy.

Etymology and spelling notes: The root aden- comes from Greek adenos, meaning gland, and the suffix -oma or -ome denotes a mass or tumor in medical terminology. Variants reflecting language differences, typographical errors, or transliteration practices can produce spellings such as dadénomes, but these are not standard in English-language medical literature. When precision is required, adenoma (plural adenomas) is the preferred term.
