Question

dysplasia The infant was born with minor hip dysplasia, which was fixed by a routine operation. ˌdɪˈspleɪʒə

Accepted Answer

Abnormal development of cells or organs, or an abnormal structure resulting from such growth. Of the dozens of medical terms that begin with the dys- prefix, dysplasia (with the suffix -plasia, meaning “development”) is one of the more common, though not many nondoctors know it. Structural dysplasias are usually something you're born with; they often involve the hip or the kidneys. But cell dysplasia is often associated with cancer. And a dysplastic mole—a mole that changes shape in an odd way—is always something to be concerned about
