fascinoma 

Medical slang (faux-Latin) for an unusual or interesting case or diagnosis.

A fascinoma evokes considerable interest from doctors who are intrigued by the bizarre or obscure nature of the condition. Human concern for the patient who is afflicted tends to be an afterthought.

The tv doctor Gregory House often treats patients who are fascinomas.
