Pumor

Pumor is a term that does not have a defined meaning in standard medical or scientific references. It is most commonly encountered as a misspelling or typographical variant of tumor, a growth of tissue that can be benign or malignant. In medical contexts, the correct spellings tumor (American English) or tumour (British English) are used, and pumor is typically treated as an error rather than a technical term.

In other contexts, pumor may appear as a proper noun in fiction, branding, or online communities. In such uses, pumor is chosen by its creator and can denote a fictional disease, a character, a place, or an organization. Because there is no universal definition, the meaning of pumor varies with source.

Usage guidance: When encountering pumor, assess the context to determine whether the author intends a standard medical term or a fictional or named concept. If medical information is involved, rely on established terms such as tumor, neoplasm, or cancer, and consult authoritative medical sources.
