Policystycznych

Policystycznych is a Polish adjective form derived from policystyczny, used to describe things that involve or are characterized by many cysts. The form policystycznych is the genitive plural (and sometimes part of a noun phrase in other cases), for example in phrases like zespół policystycznych jajników or torbiele policystyczne. In everyday medical language, the more common base adjectives are policystyczny (singular) and policzystyczne (feminine plural in the nominative).

Usage and meanings

The term is used primarily in medical and clinical contexts to indicate polycystic conditions. It appears in discussions of polycystic ovaries, polycystic kidney disease, and related syndromes. The phrase zespół policystycznych jajników denotes polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. Other examples include opisy torbieli policystycznych nerek (polycystic kidney cysts) or podobne opisy w raportach radiologicznych.

Etymology and grammar

Policystyczny is formed from the Greek-derived prefix poly- meaning many, combined with cyst/cyst-like terminology. The inflected form policystycznych serves to agree with the noun it modifies when that noun is in the genitive plural or certain other cases. The base form in nominative plural or feminine forms is typically policystyczne.
