Medical terminology is the primary instrument for transmitting information between physicians and patients and between physicians themselves. Every terminology strives for standardization, which implies harmonization according to the principle of uniformity, systematicity and integration into the Croatian language system. LSP is subject to norms, and the creation of terminology should consider certain principles. Standardized terms as well as “ad hoc” created terms which are there sult of naming new consept or object are used in medical communication. Aiming at the standardization of terminology, the project Struna was started. Two medical terminologies, anatomical and physiological, have been standardized so far as well as the terminology of ophtalmology, pharmacology and stomatology. Other medical terminologies still represents a challenge to professionals-doctors and linguists. The aim of this paperis to explore terminological dilemmas which are presentin medical language. This corpus based research willtry to give solutions for same terminological questions uncertain ties presentin medical publications.
