A misspelling magnet

Our generated misspelling index lists 7 likely wrong-spelling variants for Tumor, with forms such as "tmuor", "ttumor", and "tummor".

It also participates in 11 confusable-pair relationships, "Tür", "Tuner", "Tutor", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct German form is Tumor, spelled T-U-M-O-R.
