cancer of the ass

Question for ikkyu2, but feel free to jump in if you're not: Why do i often, if not always, read "cirrhosis of the liver"? Can you get cirrhosis somewhere else?

Ron, by way of The DICT development group (http://dict.org/), I give you:

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) :

Cirrhosis

\Cir*rho"sis\, n. [NL., fr. Gr. ? orange-colored: cf.
F. cirrhose. So called from the yellowish appearance which
the diseased liver often presents when cut.] (Med.)
A disease of the liver in which it usually becomes smaller in
size and more dense and fibrous in consistence; hence
sometimes applied to similar changes in other organs, caused
by increase in the fibrous framework and decrease in the
proper substance of the organ.

Emphasis mine.
