Italian word

ascesso

abscess

Looks like

abscess

same

⚠️ The trap

Same meaning. The trap: 'ascesso' visually resembles 'accesso' (access) — which has a completely different meaning. These are two distinct words that beginners often confuse in medical records.

To say "same" in Italian:

ascesso (correct)

"ascesso" in English means:

abscess

Example

"Ha un ascesso al dente che deve essere drenato."

"She has a tooth abscess that needs to be drained."
