Word of the day: Panhyterosalpingo-oophorectomy

Panhyterosalpingo-oophorectomy... Probably the longest word I've seen to date. I found it in my medical dictionary while I was looking for an other word.

Panhyterosalpingo-oophorectomy - Excision of the entire uterus, including the cervix, ovaries and uterine tubes.

I guess this is what happens when you look up many things in your dictionary... I know I sure do! Any time I come across a word that I don't know or am not too sure I open up my Tabers and find it in there. Best 124$ I've ever spent!
