tumentia / inflatio


Explanation:
Another possible translation is "tumor" (from the same root of "tumentia" from the verb "tumeo" = to be swollen), but it might recall something else.

tumor/tuber/struma


Explanation:
'Tumor' and 'tuber' may refer to any swelling, not necessarily to a medical conditon. 'Struma' is restricted to scrofulous disorders.

Also: turgescentia, tumefactio, tumentia (like Leonardo mentioned), tuber (like Joseph mentioned) and in a wider sense eminentia (but I guess too wide for what you asked for).
