papillary
Tiny finger-shaped bumps
Papillary means having or relating to papillae—small, nipple-like projections found on body surfaces.
In anatomy, papillary structures appear throughout the body: the papillary muscles anchor heart valves, papillary ducts drain the kidneys, and taste buds sit on lingual papillae.
In medicine, papillary often describes tumor growth patterns: papillary thyroid carcinoma, papillary breast lesions.
