subserosal
Under outer membrane
Subserosal describes something situated or occurring beneath a serous membrane—the thin tissue lining body cavities and covering organs.
The term appears most often in medical contexts describing the location of growths or lesions: subserosal fibroids, a subserosal cyst.
The serosa is the outermost layer; subserosal means just under it.
