Tubercle
A tubercle is any small, rounded projection, swelling or lump on roots, legumes, or on bodily tissue--especially the cluster of inflammatory cells that form in the lungs in tuberculosis. These can be pathological (diseased) and were originally related to tuberculosis but now also refers to a number of abnormal growths in both plants and animals--both malignant or benign.
