Cirrhosis gland (səˈroʊsɪs ɡlænd) is a medical condition that refers to the scarring of the liver caused by chronic liver disease. The word "cirrhosis" is derived from the Greek word "kirrhos," which means "tawny" or "yellow." The correct spelling of "cirrhosis gland" is important in medical documentation and communication to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment. The word is pronounced as suh-roh-sis gland, with the stress on the second syllable in "cirrhosis," and the second syllable in "gland."
