Not entirely sure about this, but the "Latum" might be short for ligamentum latum uteri - the lateral ligament of the uterus.

agree  Gisela Greenlee: Most likely possibility, since searches under "Latum" alone just lead you to information about tapeworms!

  -> Right, thanks Gisela.
agree  Derek Gill Franßen: Yes, even though I think the latin term suffices. The Google-searches don't just lead to tapeworms - try "latum + teeth". Rowan's English version of the latin term works just as well!

Could it be a syphilitic lesion?


Explanation:
"The lesions of secondary syphilis that occur around the genitalia are called condyloma `latum."

Depends what the patient is being treated for I suppose.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  Derek Gill Franßen: I don't think this fits in this context. I think term "latum" is general and can be used in various situations. If I had learned Latin I would (probably) be able to tell you more about the meaning of "latum".
