fisˇtuˇla ( P ) Pronunciation Key (fsch-l)
n. pl. fisˇtuˇlas or fisˇtuˇlae (-l)
An abnormal duct or passage resulting from injury, disease, or a congenital disorder that connects an abscess, cavity, or hollow organ to the body surface or to another hollow organ.

In other words, it's an abnormal hollow place in the body in which something could exist. Usually pus or such, but beetles (
not Beatles) could exist in there, apparently. I don't want to think about how they got in there.
