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."
