"It's another one of those undocumentable words that are becoming commonly used." 


The only reason these words make it into the medical language is because some people don't know how to research to find the correct word.  It is called the proliferation of a mistake and when gone unchecked (because of ignorance) words like these become "sanctioned." 


Other proliferated mistakes that I have seen include neuroforamina and ostiomeatal to name just two more but there are many I cannot think of at the moment. 


A good medical dictionary and reliable resources will help to stop this trend.

Subject: I expand CC to cubic centimeters or milliliters depending on which is correct.

I always spell abbreviations out such as this one that follows a vague number , i.e., few, several, many, etc. It just doesn't look right having the abbreviation in that sort of sentence to me. If you adhere to the BOS, it suggests spelling them out in this instance as well.
